The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) has ordered 46 Xcelsior CNG 40-foot transit buses from New Flyer of America, a subsidiary of NFI Group.
The Xcelsior CNG buses emit 90% less nitrogen oxide (NOx) than diesel engines and meet emissions standards for particulate matter without requiring a filter.
The order was supported by funding from the Federal Transit Administration.
Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI said:New Flyer takes great pride in our 30-year history of excellence with RTC and looks forward to continuing this partnership in the years ahead. RTC’s current fleet consists entirely of NFI Group buses, operating ARBOC and Alexander Dennis buses in addition to New Flyer, which reaffirms the value our vehicles deliver for the agency and the citizens of Southern Nevada every day.
RTC is responsible for transit and roadways in Southern Nevada. RTC Transit is a subsidiary of RTC that provides services in and around Clark County, Nevada, including the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and Boulder City.
