A prominent Southern California factory that specializes in making environmentally friendly buses is shutting down.

The Wisconsin-based REV Group, known for manufacturing fire, ambulance, commercial, and recreational vehicles, decided in January to stop manufacturing mass transit vehicles and close a division of its company that makes environmentally friendly buses, called ENC, and its 200,000 square-foot factory in Jurupa Valley, in Riverside County.
