EDMONTON TRANSIT SYSTEM
1964 Nissan 6LRA110-K2 #601-603

In late 1964 ETS took delivery of 3 prototype Nissan 6LRA110-K2 model buses. These buses were powered by a UD6 diesel engine generating 236 HP. #601 had a 6V71 engine tested to see if repowering these buses would result in more reliable bus, but this was not that case. All 3 buses were retired and sold in 1973. #601 was sold to A-1 Auto Salvage where it still sits today, and 602 and 603 were probably also sold to A-1 Auto Salvage but have long since been resold.
