(Sound) Mississauga Transit - 1992 Orion V 9201 (ex CNG)

I hope y'all remembered this bus from the 90s in Mississauga, it's the 1992 Orion V!
Mississauga Transit 9201-9210 were 1992 Orion 05.501 buses. These buses were originally built as CNG powered buses, powered by a Cummins L10G and ZF Ecomat HP500 powertrain. In 1996, Mississauga Transit decided to abandon the future purchase of CNG buses due to operating costs, and the buses were converted to diesel in 1997.
These buses retired between 2008 and 2009.
May these buses RIP :'(
Engine: Cummins L10 (Formally Cummins L10G)
Transmission: Voith D863.3 (Formally ZF Ecomat HP500)

This one among the other 9 units were formerly CNG buses.

All Mississauga Transit Orion Vs from 89-93 had the Cummins L10/Voith D863.3 combo except 9020 which had the Detroit Diesel 6V92TA engine and 9137-9139 which had the Allison HT-748 transmission.

Mississauga also had one Orion I 01.508 with the 6V-92TA/D863: it was 8610, originally an Orion demo bus built in 1984 and acquired by Mississauga Transit in 1987. It sounded slightly different from Brampton Transit's 1988-90 Orion Is with the same powertrain.

What happened to CNG fuel Tanks in Ontario

[@Orion-fz3rd]

They were long gone due to safety concerns. Only Hamilton Ontario has CNG fuel tank buses.
