New Flyer's innovative business style has been evident since our beginnings in 1930 as Western Auto and truck Body Works Limited with the production of truck and bus bodies. Capitalizing on a growing need, Western Auto became Western Flyer Coach in 1948 and began the production of a custom built highway coaches. Production of these coaches along with school buses ceased in the late 1960's as the main focus turned to manufacturing urban transit buses. In 1971, the company name was changed to Flyer Industries Limited, which developed and sold the large heavy duty transit bus models, D700, D800 & D900. Flyer Industries also became North America's leading trolley bus manufacturer. New Flyer, under its current ownership, designed and sold a whole new line of heavy duty urban transit diesel buses in 35', 40' and 60' lengths. The company also developed and introduced the "low floor" bus to the North American market. What began as a specialty product soon became the industry standard, with New Flyer as the leader in units sold and in revenue service.
