NFI SUBSIDIARY NEW FLYER AWARDED 46 BUS ORDER FROM LAS VEGAS RTC
NFI Group Inc. subsidiary New Flyer of America Inc. has received a firm award from the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada for 46 Xcelsior compressed natural gas 40-foot transit buses.
The purchase was supported by Federal Transit Administration funds and comes from options included in a contract which were added to New Flyer's backlog in the first quarter of 2025 for up to 129 Xcelsior CNG 40-foot transit buses. The Xcelsior CNG buses in this order emit 90 per cent less nitrogen oxide than diesel engines and meet particulate matter without the need of a filter. This leads to cleaner, more breathable air for communities that implement them.
"New Flyer takes great pride in our 30-year history of excellence with RTC and looks forward to continuing this partnership in the years ahead," said Chris Stoddart, president, North American bus and coach, NFI. "RTC's current fleet consists entirely of NFI Group buses, operating Arboc and Alexander Dennis buses, in addition to New Flyer, which reaffirms the value our vehicles deliver for the agency and the citizens of southern Nevada every day."
RTC is responsible for the oversight and expansion of transit, roadways, traffic management, transportation design, construction projects and regional planning efforts in southern Nevada through the southern Nevada strong regional plan. RTC Transit is a subsidiary of RTC that provides services in and around Clark county, Nevada, which has a population of more than 2.3 million people and includes the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson and Boulder City.
