This MPA Electrical starter is a new 24V replacement built for heavy-duty transit and coach applications. It is identified by part number 201-39221 and matches a wide range of bus platforms that use the specified 39MT-style starter configuration.

Compatible with Van Hool, Orion Bus, Gillig, New Flyer, Motor Coach Industries, Nova Bus Corporation, and related commercial platforms, this starter supports direct replacement service for vehicles that require the listed electrical and mounting specifications.

Key Features

• New starter assembly for commercial-duty electrical starting systems
• 24V design with 8.3 kW output specification

• 39MT application reference for broad transit and coach coverage

Detailed Application Notes

Part number 201-39221 is listed across a broad range of transit buses and coaches, including Van Hool Commuter Coach CX, Van Hool Urban Bus, Orion VII, Orion V, Gillig Low Floor, Gillig City Transit, New Flyer D40LF, and Motor Coach Industries 102D3 and 102DL3. Fitment notes also identify specific applications that require a reducer bushing or a rotatable housing, so matching the original starter configuration is important before installation.

This starter is a practical replacement for fleets and service shops working on heavy commercial vehicles that use the same 24V, 8.3 kW, 11-tooth clockwise starter setup. The 201-39221 part number appears repeatedly across multiple makes and model families, including MCI, Van Hool, and New Flyer, which helps simplify catalog lookup and application verification.

Common Uses

• No-crank or slow-crank starting complaints
• Starter failure from worn internal components
• Electrical starting issues on 24V commercial systems
• Replacement during scheduled fleet maintenance
• Service repair after starter drive or engagement problems

Installation Notes

Verify the original starter’s voltage, tooth count, rotation, and mounting configuration before installation. Some listed applications note a reducer bushing requirement or a rotatable housing, so confirm the existing setup on the vehicle before ordering. Use the vehicle’s service information to match the starter to the exact application.
