If you lined them up bumper to bumper, they’d stretch for miles. On Tuesday, April 14, Prevost announced that in 2026, the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) will receive its 1,000th Prevost motorcoach.

In December 2023, Prevost announced the largest contract in its history with a major order from MTA for the manufacture of 381 coaches, including a firm order for 250 coaches to be delivered between 2025 and 2026.

"This is a historic milestone for us,” said François Tremblay, president of Prevost and Volvo Group Canada. “Just imagine! [One thousand] Prevost coaches on the road every day, serving the citizens of New York City and its suburbs. Over time, we have developed a genuine relationship of trust with the MTA, and we are very proud of that.”

“We look forward to continuing to upgrade our fleet with high-quality buses to ensure we are providing safe and efficient service for the New Yorkers who rely on our bus network to get them where they need to go," said MTA NYC Transit President Demetrius Crichlow. The new buses will help New York City Transit serve over 1 million bus riders daily.

Representatives from Canada also commended the partnership and achievement.

“Such a relationship is based on mutual trust and shared ambition. The Government of Québec is proud to see Prevost rise to the challenge on the world stage," said M. Christopher Skeete, Quebec Minister of International Relations and La Francophonie.

"Reaching the milestone of 1,000 coaches delivered to New York is a clear demonstration of Québec's manufacturing expertise and the strength of our economic ties with the United States,” added M. Jean Boulet, Quebec Minister of Economy, Innovation and Energy, and Minister of Labor. Through companies like Prevost, Québec is positioning itself as a key player in innovation and sustainable mobility across North America, while generating meaningful benefits for our workers and regions.”
