“The vehicle you’re getting is something modern, the latest technology,” Bombardier spokesman Marc-Andre Lefebvre said Thursday. “It’s night and day. The first vehicle is coming this July. We wanted to give people a sense of what this vehicle looks like.”

Features include top-of-the-line heating, cooling and electronic displays that provide travel information. Most importantly, the vehicles will be easy for passengers to get on and off, Lefebvre said.

The mock-up will be on display in the mall’s east parking lot.
