EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
2011 Orion VII EPA10 Demo  

In June 2011, ETS took delivery of a demo Orion VII EPA10 (NG, diesel). This bus ran in regular service on the route 100 until mid August, at which point it was returned to Orion. Less than a year later (March 2012), Orion quit producing buses as part of the parent company, Daimler's, decision to restructure their North American operations.
