Brampton Transit has ordered 55 additional buses from NFI’s New Flyer to expand its fleet in response to growing passenger numbers.
The order consists of 20 hybrid-electric 40-foot Xcelsior buses and 35 clean-diesel 60-foot models.
The new buses are part of Brampton’s efforts to enhance transit services to meet rising demand across the city. As Ontario’s third-largest municipality and part of the Greater Toronto Area, Brampton is home to more than 650,000 residents. Its transit agency operates over 500 buses on 70 routes, including the Züm Bus Rapid Transit network.
Chris Stoddart, President of NFI’s North American Bus and Coach division said:At New Flyer, our broad product portfolio enables us to meet the evolving needs of agencies like Brampton Transit, offering the right propulsion technology and vehicle configuration for every operation. With more than 300 buses delivered to Brampton over the past 30 years, this latest order is a strong endorsement of our commitment to delivering innovative, propulsion-agnostic mobility solutions that help cities move forward.
The Xcelsior hybrid-electric and clean-diesel buses are equipped with modern powertrains and emissions-reduction technologies. The vehicles are designed to offer improved fuel efficiency and consistent performance.
The clean-diesel models run on ultra-low sulfur diesel and are suited to high-capacity routes, while the hybrid-electric units support reduced fuel use and lower emissions.
Both models align with Brampton’s long-term goals for more efficient and environmentally conscious public transport services.
