NFI Group (NFI) subsidiary New Flyer has received an order from the Golden Empire Transit District (GET bus).

The order includes five forty-foot fuel cell-electric Xcelsior CHARGE H2™ heavy-duty transit buses. It follows a prior GET bus purchase of five Xcelsior CHARGE H2™ buses.

GET bus is the mass transportation provider in Bakersfield, California, transporting more than six million passengers per year.

New Flyer’s President, Chris Stoddart commented on the order.

“Leveraging NFI’s experience in electric technology – with more than 40 million EV service miles completed – New Flyer is delivering innovative, efficient, sustainable mobility into California and directly enabling the transition to zero-emission propulsion by 2040.

Since 2005, we have delivered over 110 buses to GET bus, and, now, our fuel cell-electric technology will improve community livability with proven range, improved air quality, and quieter transportation.”

The Xcelsior CHARGE H2™ is a battery-electric vehicle using compressed hydrogen as an energy source. Built on New Flyer’s proven Xcelsior® platform, the Xcelsior CHARGE H2can save 85 to 135 tons of greenhouse gas per year from tailpipe emissions compared to a diesel bus. 

NFI is a leader in zero-emission mobility, with electric vehicles operating in more than 80 cities in five countries.

The company offers the widest range of zero-emission battery and fuel cell electric buses and coaches, and its vehicles have completed over 40 million EV service miles.
