NEBR Receives Contract for New Flyer Hybrid Drive Buses

North Eastern Bus Rebuilders Inc. (NEBR) has launched operations in Boston with a major contract to support the operations on the new bus fleet recently delivered to the market by New Flyer Industries.

NEBR has recently completed work on a 12,000-square-foot maintenance facility, located in the Readville neighborhood of Boston. 

The new buses were manufactured by New Flyer, which contracted with NEBR to warranty and commission the vehicles. The new high-powered, heavy-duty Xcelsior buses are powered by clean, hybrid-drive (compressed natural gas and diesel-electric). The hybrid propulsion systems are manufactured by BAE and serviced by NEBR.

Brian Kaminskey, president of NEBR, which is headquartered in New York, said he is excited about the company’s expansion into the Greater Boston and other regional Massachusetts markets.

“Strong business relationships, and our staff of specialty skilled technicians, are the cornerstone of our business which drives NEBR’s footprint and expansion into markets such as Boston,” Kaminskey said.

NEBR’s facilities offer service for the transit industry, providing major accident repairs, drive-line overhaul, transmission work, and modified refurbishments, as well as inventory support. NEBR Specializes in alternative fuel technologies, Extended Life Warranty Programs and Fleet Consulting.  NEBR also provides field support for bus breakdowns and repairs at off-site locations.

NEBR is expanding its Readville operations and adding personnel to provide warranty service for the ever growing needs of the Massachusetts transit industry.
