The buses will spur PRT\u2019s transition to a more sustainable fleet and replace vehicles that have reached the end of their lifespan with more efficient and reliable battery-electric and clean-diesel buses.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer), a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. (NFI), has received a five-year contract from Pittsburgh Regional Transit (PRT) for 15 zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE NG\u2122 60-foot heavy duty transit buses and 54 clean-diesel Xcelsior\u00ae 60-foot buses. The contract includes options to purchase up to 88 additional 60-foot battery-electric or clean-diesel buses. In total, NFI will add 157 60-foot buses (314 EUs) to its backlog. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRT is the second largest public transit agency in Pennsylvania, operating a fleet of 730 buses and providing more than 60 million annual passenger trips a year in the Pittsburgh area. In September 2022, PRT announced its plan to transition to a zero-emission bus fleet by 2045 <\/a>to improve the health and safety of the area it serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supported by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds, this order will spur PRT\u2019s transition to a more sustainable fleet and replace vehicles that have reached the end of their lifespan with more efficient and reliable battery-electric and clean-diesel buses, delivering an enhanced passenger experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSince 2011, NFI has delivered more than 130 vehicles to PRT, eight of which were battery-electric buses. NFI continues to deliver the most advanced transit technology available in North America,\u201d said Chris Stoddart, president, NFI. \u201cDesigned on NFI\u2019s Xcelsior platform, both electric and clean-diesel 60-foot buses share common parts, tooling and training, enabling PRT’s smooth transition to a zero-emission fleet. Together with PRT, we are delivering safe, reliable, efficient and more sustainable mobility for the greater Pittsburgh community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
