ARBOC Specialty Vehicles LLC, a leading manufacturer in the low floor transit industry, is widely known for its Spirit of Freedom, Spirit of Independence, Spirit of Liberty, and Spirit of Mobility models. In early 2017, the ISO 9001-certified company sought to produce a new, innovative product, thus teaming with Specialty Vehicles of Henderson, Nevada to introduce a low floor trolley, the Spirit of America (SOA).
Utilizing a custom rear engine diesel chassis built by Freightliner, the Spirit of America is available in 29’ or 34’ lengths, with one or two entry doors, and includes a power ramp. “We are excited to unveil our latest project: the Spirit of America. We went through countless measures to ensure this vehicle has great quality and is aesthetically pleasing, while keeping it affordable,” commented Don Roberts, President & CEO. The SOA boasts efficiency and reliability while keeping the traditional American trolley style. Featuring woodgrain interior, brass-finished accents, arched-top windows, and custom designed paint and graphics, the Spirit of America displays an elegant yet classic appearance.
Specialty Vehicles has been instrumental in the design of this product and will be the sole distributor, having over 30 years of trolley sales experience. Both ARBOC and Specialty Vehicles are excited to form this partnership and bring the Spirit of America to the market.
