New Flyer has been awarded a contract to supply Suffolk County Transit with up to 132 buses over the next five years.
The order, which was added to New Flyer’s backlog in Q1 2025, includes 92 Xcelsior® hybrid-electric 35-foot buses and 40 Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ battery-electric 40-foot buses.
The new vehicles will join Suffolk County Transit’s existing fleet of 73 New Flyer Xcelsior® hybrid-electric 35-foot buses previously supplied by New Flyer.
Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI, said:This order underscores the value of our platform’s flexibility and dependability.
New Flyer’s common Xcelsior platform enables agencies to operate hybrid and battery-electric buses with shared parts, tools, and training—delivering real operational savings while maintaining consistent, high-quality performance.
Each new bus is hoped to improve service reliability, passenger comfort and long-term operating efficiency for passengers across the county.
