DUNKIRK, Ohio—Pegasus Bus Company, a new Dunkirk company spearheaded by experienced executives in the school and transit bus industries, has announced details surrounding the design of its all-new Atlas models for Type A and C school buses.
According to the company, with unique body designs and state-of-the-art standard features and options, the new Pegasus vehicles will give bus buyers greater freedom of choice. The broad availability of Atlas models through the Pegasus dealer network will enhance competitiveness that should broadly benefit transit and school bus players in much of North America.
“Pegasus’ primary strategic objective is predicated upon bringing new, innovative and unique bus solutions to the marketplace, and our Atlas models are the culmination of our initial work,” said Brian Barrington, president of Pegasus Bus Company. “Our advanced bodies mounted on these reliable, fuel-efficient and customizable chassis will truly be a game-changer in the markets we’re focusing on.”
The company recently placed its first order with Zeus Electric Chassis. Pegasus will use the Zeus Z-19 Power Platform to deliver shuttle and paratransit buses that they say will be categorically different from any gas or diesel conversions available today. The ground-up design of the Zeus Z-19 cab and chassis is purpose-built and optimized for bus body installation and system integration.
Pegasus also recently announced an agreement with the nation’s largest bus dealership, Creative Bus Sales, which has 23 locations in the United States.
“We’re very excited to help take the new Pegasus Type A school buses and their shuttle, paratransit and Type C school buses to market,” said Jason Hohalok, sales manager for California for Creative Bus Sales. “The Atlas offers innovative new body solutions on three very reliable Peterbilt platforms and we think our customers will be very receptive.”
