Globe & Mail 08:11 AM EDT, 09/16/2021 (MT Newswires) -- NFI Group (NFI.TO) subsidiary New Flyer of America, has received a new contract from the Lane Transit District (LTD) for 19 battery-electric forty-foot Xcelsior CHARGE heavy-duty transit buses. The order includes six depot chargers, supporting electric bus deployment in Eugene-Springfield, Oregon, and Metro Area where LTD delivers more than 10 million bus rides annually.
This order follows New Flyer's recent delivery of 11 battery-electric transit buses and installation of five depot chargers, which were supported by Federal Transit Administration Low or No-Emission funding. Both orders advance LTD's climate action goals of 75% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction by 2030, and 100% fleet turnover to reduce fossil fuel dependency by 2035.
"NFI is meeting the growing demand for reduced GHG emission by providing comprehensive turn-key solutions, built on our four-pillar approach including buses and coaches, connected technology, infrastructure, and workforce development," said Paul Soubry, President and Chief Executive Officer, NFI. "These integrated turnkey solutions are tailored for a customer's specific needs and serve as critical enablers of the transition to zero-emission. With battery-electric options across our entire suite of vehicles, NFI is positioned unlike any other OEM to advance the mass mobility shift toward sustainability."
