Millennium Luxury Coaches is a central Florida-based manufacturer of custom luxury motor coaches, built at their 100,000 square foot facility in Sanford. All coaches are built using the Prevost commercial bus chassis. Millennium has designed custom coaches for business owners, celebrities and pro athletes[1] which have retailed for over $2,000,000.
History
Millennium[2] is an individual owned company in the marine, aviation and luxury coach building industry. After years in the luxury motorhome market, Nelson Figueroa founded Millennium Luxury Coaches in 2000. He launched the company in Sanford, Florida during the 2001 recession.[3]
Products and services
Millennium builds Prevost XLII, X3 and H3-45 luxury coach conversions, available in multiple slide and bay configurations.
In addition to new coach manufacturing, Millennium offers consignment services as well as second-hand inventory. The Interior Design Center designs custom coaches, as well as offering full interior remodels and updates.
In 2013 Millennium started using a Savant Systems custom interface, that when paired with an iPhone or iPad, allows owners to control virtually every aspect of their coach including the lights, awnings, entertainment options, and security system, and even flush the toilets from across the county.[citation needed]
Millennium is a Prevost-authorized service center equipped to provide professional collision, fiberglass and dent repair. They also provide awning installation, delamination, window replacement and full detailing. Additional services that can be found at Millennium are free insurance estimates, secured coach parking and RV storage.
Achievements
In January 2011 Millennium was a recipient of the inaugural 2011 Florida Companies to Watch Award,[4] as selected by the Edward Lowe Foundation.[5]
July 2012, Millennium gained approval to be added to Transport Canada's List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States, after confirming compliance with all applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS), and the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act (MVSA).
In December 2012, Millennium Luxury Coaches announced they had successfully relocated the diesel exhaust fluid inlet to the driver's side of the coach. It had previously been located on the passenger's side, which presented a problem at filling stations because of the pump being located on the driver's side. This stirred controversy as skeptics noted it brought warranty concerns with Prevost. Prevost engineers and management visited Millennium's facility to view the modifications, approving the modifications and eliminating the warranty concerns.[6]
In May 2013, Millennium received the Association for Corporate Growth's (ACG) SMART Award for the field of Distribution and Transportation.[7]
In August 2013, Millennium was awarded the Ultimate Newcomer title, as part of the 2013 Golden 100 Awards. [8]
