NFI has received its third contract to supply hydrogen fuel cell buses to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC).
This latest contract includes a firm order for seven hydrogen fuel cell-electric 60-foot Xcelsior CHARGE FC transit buses. In addition, it provides RTC with the option to purchase up to 93 additional buses in the future.
President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI, Chris Stoddart said:Spanning over 30 years of partnership, we have delivered more than 820 buses to RTC. This contract marks RTC's third EV order awarded to NFI, which once again proves NFI's undeniable leadership in mass mobility electrification.
The Xcelsior CHARGE FC is the most advanced hydrogen fuel cell-electric bus in North America, which can efficiently operate across a wide range of weather conditions while eliminating greenhouse gas from tailpipe emissions. Our advanced fuel cell-electric buses will provide the Las Vegas Valley community with a fully zero-emission mobility solution for a more sustainable future.
The high-capacity Xcelsior CHARGE FC buses will operate on RTC’s Maryland Parkway bus rapid transit (BRT) route.
This 13-mile line is designed to expand bus services, reduce air pollution and enhance passenger comfort to encourage more people to use public transit.
