  • Ex. OC Transpo #4040, a 1999 Orion VI 06.501 (VIN 1VH669P77X6600106) seen at the scrapyard being destroyed. 4040 was one of the last Orion VI buses out of 140 to be in service for OC Transpo after 14 years on the road.

    Ese es fin de un vehículo que sirvió por años a la comunidad,ojalá que la mayor parte de sus partes y piezas puedan ser recicladas,para que así vengan todo ese material a ser parte de un nuevo autobús. Aca en Chile, lamentable es que los buses que se usan acá,tienen mucho de fibra de vidrio y plástico, por lo que la mayor parte de sus carrocerías no son reciclables y por lo tanto producen un problema de contaminación ambiental. Creo que debería exigirse a todos los fabricantes de carrocerías a nivel mundial que todos los materiales utilizados en sus carrocerías deben de ser reciclables ; de lo contrario nos estamos llenando de basura que no podemos tratar ,creando un gran problema medio ambiental.
