The expansion is further realization of the TTC’s Green Bus Technology Plan, which previously paved the way for the 60 electric bus purchase. In that deal, the TTC bought 20 buses each from three different vendors: Proterra, New Flyer and BYD Canada. In 2019, it put the first of those vehicles into operation, with a plan to monitor their performance in a head-to-head evaluation, the preliminary results of which were released this week.

That study, looking at nine different criteria, found New Flyer’s NFI XE40 was the only fully electric bus model to meet or exceed the TTC’s targets in four key domains: system compatibility; accessibility; vehicle performance; and vendor performance.
