Winnipeg, MB; April 18, 2007

New Flyer Industries Canada ULC (NFI ULC), an indirect subsidiary of New Flyer Industries Inc. (NFI), (together New Flyer) has completed delivery of seven hybrid 60-foot articulated buses with restyled design to Hamilton Street Railway in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. This is the first delivery of restyled 60-foot, hybrid buses in Canada or the US.

"Today Hamilton has once again reinforced its leadership role among Canadian municipalities in providing residents with environment-friendly technology and services," said Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger. "These hybrid buses complement Hamilton's many environmental initiatives - initiatives that are bringing healthy change to the Greater Hamilton Area today and for generations to come."

The Restyle platform includes a sleek front mask and rear crown, adding curb appeal to the list of benefits of operating New Flyer’s proven transit buses. New Flyer is the only commercial builder of articulated hybrid vehicles in Canada and the United States.

"New Flyer is pleased to have manufactured these environmentally-friendly buses for Hamilton and we are proud of our long-term relationship with this forward-thinking customer," said John Marinucci, President and CEO of New Flyer. "These restyled, hybrid-electric articulated buses are the first of their kind in Canada and the United States and will certainly assist Hamilton in meeting their objectives of increased passenger capacity and environmental improvements."

Hamilton also ordered five diesel-electric buses with the traditional bus design and unveiled the new additions to their fleet in a media event April 3, 2007.
