Two more sets were delivered in April and May 2009, followed by two more sets in October and November 2009. Two sets were delivered during fiscal 2011, bringing the total fleet to 32 vehicles (8 sets) by March 2012. Five sets were delivered during spring and summer of 2012, and three sets each in early 2013 and 2014.
