NFI Group (NFI) has received an order from the Orange County Transportation Authority for 10 additional zero-emission electric buses.

The California county ordered 10 zero-emission battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE 40-foot transit buses.

New Flyer, NFI subsidiary, recently delivered another 10 hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles to the OCTA as the county works to fulfil California’s Innovative Clean Transit regulation.

The statewide regulation mandates that companies are to gradually transition to 100 per cent zero-emission bus fleets by 2040.

Paul Soubry, president and CEO of NFI, commented,

“As we drive toward a zero-emission future, NFI continues to deliver clean, safe, accessible and quiet electric buses throughout the US and around the world.”

Chris Stoddart, president of North America Bus and Coach, remarked that “With over 1,000 buses delivered since 1990, OCTA continues to rely on New Flyer’s advanced zero-emission technology, including battery-electric and fuel-cell buses, in its transition to clean mobility.”

NFI is a leader in zero-emission mobility, with electric vehicles operating (or on order) 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 electric vehicle service miles.

NFI Group Inc. (NFI) is down 0.37 per cent on the day, trading at $27.15 per share as of 2:36 pm ET.
