Check out the photos at the following link:

It appears that NYCT will be receiving its new HEV's in a brand new style.
(Personal opinion: the new units will take some getting used to!) |

I'm confused - the photos show 6749 is a typical MTA Orion VII. The next-generation bus on display is a demo. Was there some news on BusChat or elsewhere which indicated that NYC would be receiving part of the order with the new look? |

Sorry about that, Jim! You are quite correct.
I think I'm the one who is a bit dazed and confused.
I thought the "new look HEV" (now there's a strange combination of bus terms!) already was painted in NYCT livery.
Perhaps I need a new pair of eyeglasses... |

No problem, Bob - I thought maybe I was missing something! |

It'll certainly be interesting to see the next-gen 07s showing up. What will be the MTA's plans after the current delivery (if it's still happening - I haven't been in tough with the bus world much lately) foor ordering more buses? |

NYCT and MTAB will receive the next-generation buses eventually, without a doubt. Since we're devoted to buying Orion products we'll definitely see them at some time in the future. |
