Fleet Numbering System
The STL has had a fleet numbering system since they have had their Classics. Their fleet numbering system goes like this:
MCI/Nova Classics:
- Between 1987-1988: The second digit of the first two digits was the year.(EXAMPLE: 5844=1988(*Note 5801-5805 were 1987 vehicles)). The last two digits represented the order of manufacture.(EXAMPLE: 5844= 44th vehicle built in this series)
- Between 1989-1995: The second digit of the first two digits was the year.(EXAMPLE: 6015=1990). The last two digits represented the order of manufacture.(EXAMPLE: 6015= 15th vehicle built in this series).
Nova LFS:
- Between 1996-1998: The first two digits represent the year.(EXAMPLE: 9603=1996,(*Note the 97xx were 1996 delivered in 1997).The last two digits represent the order of manufacture(EXAMPLE: 9603=3rd vehicle built for this series).
- Between 2000-2009:The first two digits represented the year(EXAMPLE:0001=2000)The last two digits represent the order of manufacture(EXAMPLE: 0001=01st vehicle built for this series).
- Between 2010-2011: The first two digits represent the year(EXAMPLE:1101=2011)The last two digits represent the order of manufacture(EXAMPLE:1101=1st vehicle built for this series)
