San Francisco Expands its Zero-Emission Footprint with an Order for 185 Trolley-Electric Buses

The SFMTA decision to expand its ZEB fleet is focused on delivering improved passenger experience and environmental impact, and fulfilling one of SFMTA’s strategic core values of “Clean, Green, and Quiet Mobility”. The move to add 185 ZEBs follows two prior option orders awarded by SFMTA over the past year for 93 (or 186 equivalent units) Xcelsior sixty-foot articulated trolley-electric ZEBs.

“We are proud to continue our longstanding relationship with the City of San Francisco,” stated Wayne Joseph, President of New Flyer of America. “Since 1977, New Flyer and the SFMTA have collaborated to promote the use of electric energy to power transit buses, and we look forward to delivering greater community and environmental impact with the expanded presence of ZEBs, powered by clean propulsion.”

The Company has over 40 years of experience in manufacturing ZEBs and has 14 fabrication, manufacturing, distribution, and service centers across the U.S.
