NFI’s subsidiary, New Flyer has received an order from the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to supply up to 621 battery-electric buses over a period of five years.

The contract includes a firm order for 186 Xcelsior CHARGE NG transit buses, as well as the option for TTC to purchase up to an additional 435 units.

It also provides options for other agencies in Ontario to enter into agreements with New Flyer over the next four years.

This order supports TTC’s goal of converting its entire bus fleet to zero exhaust emissions by 2040. To further advance this plan, the agency also recently ordered 124 LFSe+ electric buses from Nova Bus.

In 2022, TTC also placed a firm order with NFI for 134 Xcelsior 40-foot hybrid-electric heavy-duty transit buses and 68 Xcelsior 60-foot hybrid-electric buses

Chris Stoddart, President of North American Bus and Coach, NFI said:

Building on our partnership with TTC spanning over half a century, this new order supports the TTC’s efforts towards net zero goals for a healthier and more sustainable future. We are proud of the performance from the active in-service trial and are excited to add to the New Flyer fleet at TTC.
