NFI Group (NFI) has received an order from New York’s CDTA for four Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ forty-foot transit buses.
These buses will be equipped with next-generation high-energy batteries providing 440 kWh of energy to Capital District Transportation Authority.
The purchase, which follows CDTA’s first battery-electric bus order for four Xcelsior CHARGE™ buses delivered to CDTA in 2020, propels its Strategic Plan and helps the state reach its goal of transitioning transit fleets to 100 per cent renewable energy by 2035.
CDTA provides transit services to the Capital District of New York, including the counties of Albany, Rensselaer, Saratoga, and Schenectady, and delivers over 16 million passenger trips per year.
“Since 2015, NFI has delivered over 40 transit buses to CDTA and continues to support them through their transition to zero-emission,” said Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach.
“Our battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE buses will benefit the New York region by delivering immediate emissions and noise reductions and will help CDTA to meet its goals to enhance New York’s transportation through innovative, sustainable mobility solutions,” added Stoddart.
Designed on the proven Xcelsior® platform, each battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE™ bus can reduce up to 100 to 160 tons of greenhouse gas per year.
