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\nSupported 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.
