New Flyer of America has received a new contract from the Lane Transit District (LTD) in Oregon for 19 battery-electric forty-foot Xcelsior CHARGE NG heavy-duty transit buses. Both orders advance LTD’s climate action goals of 75% greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction by 2030, and 100% fleet turnover to reduce fossil fuel dependency by 2035.

The XR Extended Range product, using NMC Li-ion cells, allows longer distances between charge events. Although this RFP includes all types of heavy-duty transit vehicles, it was created in support of Governor Jay Inslee’s initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to increase transportation choices for the future.
