Other interesting programs:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One market sector that was interesting was the ‘export bus’ market, mainly working with our clients, Duple Metsec. These covered high tech products like the Trident 3 for the new Hong Kong airport thru the front engine, simpler buses for Africa & Asia, such as 4,250 bus kit units for Sri Lanka. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
