PREVOST® NAMES NEW DIRECTOR OF PRE-OWNED COACH SALES

Dupont has worked in the bus industry for over 25 years, most notably as the third-generation owner and General Manager of one of the oldest service centers for motorcoaches and  motorcoach operators  in the province of Quebec  (autobus Dupont founded 1936).  In 1997, Dupont founded a company called Dupont Industries known also as Dupontrolley.

Dupont will join the Prevost Business Line management team under the leadership of François Tremblay, Vice-President / General Manager. “We welcome the extensive experience and fresh new perspective Jean brings to the table.  We intend to be a key player in the industry for operators looking for a pre-owned coach.  Jean's leadership, business development and customer experience will benefit both Prevost’s pre-owned business and the new coach sales team,” added Tremblay.
