RE : NFI has been punished with supply chain issues
(''The bus manufacturing industry in general has been slowing and this has an effect on GSI''), according to the ''previous post''. ---That is simply ,NOT TRUE'. ----- The transit bus industry has had double digit increase in orders for 3 years,mainly on the transformation of huge demand for clean diesel and electric. --The school bus industry is at production highs with double digit manufacturing growth for the 3rd year in a row. ----------- What has not kept up, is in sales of equipment by GSI . ---Outside of Septa, total sales of new equipment , onto various school bus commpanies has dropped massively . --Going back on counting outfits via PR'S it looks like we have dropped from highs of over 3000 units ,to just 185 units in 3 years. ------ After all the rhetoric and excusses given, ''quite simply'',the SALES team ,just has not performed. ------- What has performed is the ongoing Septa work , and the maintenance of equipment ,both performing indepedent of the sales team .

Double digit order increase means little if they can't deliver on the orders, which is the situation for NFI, given the chip backlog. Do you have evidence that other bus co.'s are actually shipping them out to the tune of twice as many?
