Calgary Transit Orders an Additional Twenty New Flyer 60-Foot Xcelsior® Buses

This order is from the Company’s contract with Calgary Transit for 10 60-foot Xcelsior® buses that was awarded in June 2013.  All 10 buses have been delivered.   The contact did not have a specified quantity of options, but allowed Calgary Transit to order additional quantities of the same bus for up to one year. This order is in addition to the current 150 Xcelsior® 40-foot bus contact that was announced in a New Flyer press release on September 26, 2013. The contract is proceeding on schedule and to date the Company has delivered 15 buses from that order.

Calgary Transit operates an active fleet of more than 900 heavy-duty transit buses of which 668 are New Flyers delivered over the past two decades, most of which remain in active service today.

“We are pleased to continue our partnership with Calgary Transit and this order for more 60-foot Xcelsior® buses reflects on Calgary Transit’s continued confidence in our buses,” said Paul Soubry, President and Chief Executive Officer at New Flyer. “We are committed to providing world class products and industry leading customer service to support Calgary as they respond to significant growth and demand from their ridership”.

This new contract for 20 Xcelsior® articulated buses are anticipated to begin production in the third quarter of 2014 and all buses are expected to be delivered by the end of 2014.
