New York's MTA further electrifies fleet, with order for 265 battery-electric buses from NFI subsidiary New Flyer
The MTA operates North America's largest transportation network and oversees the largest bus fleet in the United States. The MTA's services span 5,000 square miles, covering New York City, Long Island, southeastern New York State, and Connecticut, serving a population of 15.3 million people. Demonstrating its leadership in sustainable transit, the agency unveiled a plan in 2023 to fully transition its 5,800-bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2040. This initiative aligns with the MTA's overarching goal to reduce operational greenhouse gas emissions by 85% by 2040, using 2015 as the baseline. This ambitious effort underscores the MTA's commitment to driving meaningful climate action while maintaining its vital role in connecting communities.
'Our 25 year partnership with the MTA has been built on trust, innovation, and delivering reliable transportation solutions,' said Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI. 'This builds upon MTA's original firm order of 205 Xcelsior CHARGE NG buses.'
New Flyer's Xcelsior CHARGE NG™ bus incorporates three distinct technology advancements: high-energy batteries, advanced protective battery packaging for easy installation and simpler serviceability, and a lightweight electric traction drive system with up to 90% energy recovery.
