Unitrans 3536–4350 are fifteen Orion V transit buses operated in regular service by Unitrans in Davis, California. Purchased in 1996, they were the first buses that were bought new by Unitrans since 1982. More significantly, they were the first Unitrans buses fueled by compressed natural gas (CNG). Their purchase signalled the start of a move by Unitrans to a CNG fueled bus fleet, with the purpose of reducing exhaust emissions. Their purchase also triggered a need for a CNG fueling facility that was constructed at the Unitrans garage. The purchase of these buses was part of a joint order placed by Unitrans, Yolobus, and Sacramento RT. Upon unveiling on April 9, 1996, all 15 were driven in a single line from the Unitrans garage to the Memorial Union terminal, where a ribbon cutting ceremony was held. On their arrival at the MU Terminal, several GM buses left, a symbolic gesture to suggest "out with the old, in with the new." Among those in attendance was Congressman Vic Fazio who spoke and helped to cut the ribbon. ==Technical specifications== Manufacturer: Orion Bus Industries Model: Orion V 05.504 (3536-3542), Orion V 05.501 (4343-4350) Date built: 1996 Engine: Cummins L10G, fueled by compressed natural gas Length: 35 feet (3536-3542), 40 feet (4343-4350) Width: 8½ feet Seating capacity: 35 (3536-3542), 43 (4343-4350) Date acquired by Unitrans: April, 1996 Current status: Unitrans Fleet - Active 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Unitrans 3536–4350」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
