Notes: The Orion VII is a low floor transit bus that was available in Canada and the United States. The first production buses were built for Mississauga Transit in 2001. Coincident with the introduction of EPA 2007 compliant engines, a restyled Orion VII was introduced in 2007. It features updated front and rear fascias and flush-mounted windows. The Next Generation name was dropped after an update in 2010. Production of the Orion VII ended in 2012 after Daimler shut down their bus operations in Canada and the United States, with the last buses being 35-foot diesel-electric hybrid buses for Metra of Columbus, Georgia.
