    The state of Washington has selected Vicinity Motor Corp.’s (formerly Grande West Transportation Group) Vicinity™ buses for a statewide purchasing contract that gives state transit agencies the right to purchase from the company’s bus portfolio.

    Vehicles for selection can be produced from the company’s planned Buy America-compliant assembly facility in Washington state, which will be capable of producing 1,000 electric, CNG, gas and clean-diesel units annually across all sizes and powertrains.

    “We are pleased to announce that Vicinity Motor Corp. has been chosen as an OEM supplier for Washington state’s growing fleet of buses – driving forward the transition to a more sustainable public transportation system,” said William Trainer, CEO of Vicinity Motor Corp. “This contract win marks yet another exciting milestone in our expansion into the significant U.S. market, where our purpose-built Vicinity™ line of products’ quality and consistency allows us to capture market share.

    “Our guidance to deliver over 100 buses in the first half of 2021 is a testament to the value proposition that Vicinity brings to private and public transportation operators. I look forward to continued execution in the months ahead, creating sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders,” concluded Trainer.
