Volvo Group’s subsidiary, Nova Bus has been contracted to supply 80 LFSe+ electric buses to the Regional Municipality of York in Ontario, Canada.
Under this contract, the vehicles will be manufactured at Nova Bus’s Saint-Eustache plant in Québec, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2026.
Mr. Paul Le Houillier, President of Nova Bus said:We are thrilled to have been awarded the contract because it not only demonstrates our expertise in electric bus manufacturing but also reinforces our position as a leader in sustainable public transit solutions. Being at the forefront of the electrification of public transport is a commitment we take very seriously, and this new contract serves as strong evidence of that.
By 2050, the Regional Municipality of York plans to deploy a fully electric bus fleet, reducing emissions by approximately 15,982 tons annually. This will support the region’s goal of achieving net-zero emissions by the same year.
The LFSe+ low-floor electric bus is designed for urban operations. The model features two charging options, with pantograph and plug-in systems.
Meanwhile, its modular battery design allows storage of up to 564 kWh of onboard energy, optimising operational efficiency.
