Vicinity Motor Corp.

Vicinity Motor Corp. (formerly Grande West Transportation Group) is a Canadian bus and truck manufacturer headquartered in Aldergrove, British Columbia, Canada.

Grande West worked closely with management and engineers with BC Transit to understand requirements and specifications of the Vicinity.

The company initially targeted the niche demand for green, compact buses in the North American market with their 27.5 foot bus.
