Nova Bus is a bus manufacturer in North America, owned by Volvo Buses, and headquartered in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, Canada.
The factory was originally a General Motors plant for building city transit buses intended for the Canadian market. In 1987 GM divested its entire bus holdings by selling them to Motor Coach Industries (MCI), itself formed from companies formerly owned by Greyhound Lines. The plant was used to produce the Classic model for sales in Canada, while GMC's Rapid Transit Series (RTS) product was moved to join MCI's own designs at Transportation Manufacturing Corporation in Roswell, New Mexico. MCI decided to divest its urban rapid transit models in 1993, and Nova Bus was created to take over the Classic and RTS models at the Saint-Eustache and Roswell plants.
The Classic and RTS were later dropped in order to concentrate on the Nova LFS, a low floor city bus, which was introduced in 1995. The last Classic model was produced in 1997. Sales of Nova LFS proved uncompetitive and Nova Bus closed their Roswell and Niskayuna, New York plants in 2002 to concentrate all efforts on the Canadian market. The Roswell plant was later taken over by a local consortium, Millennium Transit Services, but this effort went bankrupt in 2008. However the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA), with 483 LFS units in its active bus fleet, remains one of the larger Nova Bus operators.
On February 2, 2008, Nova Bus announced plans for the construction of a new assembly plant in Plattsburgh, New York, signifying the company's return to the U.S. bus market. The plant opened for business on June 15, 2009.[1] Its first US order under American production came from the New York City Transit Authority for ninety LFS Articulated buses (one of which is pictured to the right). In March 2010, Nova Bus received the first US-built order for its redesigned LFS from Honolulu, Hawaii's TheBus. The 24 buses will arrive in Fall 2010 with plans to order more in the future.

The current model from Nova Bus is the Low Floor Series, offered in three types: the LFS, LFS Articulated, and the LFX. The powertrain layout mounted on the left at the rear was changed to a center-mounted powertrain with ventilation from the roof on all LFS models starting in 2009. Some demonstrators and test buses in 2008 already had this layout.
All Low Floor Series buses are 2.59 m (102 in) wide. The LFS 12.19 m (40 ft) version is in mass production and has been since 1995; the LFS Articulated and LFX models entered production in 2009. A hybrid version of the LFS was introduced in 2006 using an Allison EP40 parallel hybrid system. A single-door suburban 12.19 m (40 ft) version is also available.
