\u201cAs transit agencies across North America continue the evolution to smart, sustainable mobility solutions<\/strong>, New Flyer is proud to offer advanced, reliable project management to help ensure the most successful fleet deployment possible,\u201d said Chris Stoddart<\/strong>, President of New Flyer. \u201cZero-emission, battery-electric fleets require significant resources to build and deploy supporting infrastructure and interoperable charging, and now, New Flyer is able to lead the charge with proven expertise in project management and grid planning. We look forward to working with agencies in helping overcome hurdles in electric bus and Bus Rapid Transit adoption.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe are pleased to partner with New Flyer on our first purchase of electric buses,\u201d said Trinity Metro President and CEO Paul J Ballard<\/strong>. \u201cWe are excited about the product and look forward to introducing the electric bus option to our riders this spring.\u201d<\/p>\n The foundation of New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions is not the only novelty of this beginning of 2019 for New Flyer. On the contrary: in the last few days the manufacturer was awarded a contract from\u00a0Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority \u00a0for five sixty-foot (18 meter) New Flyer Xcelsior Charge battery electric buses.<\/p>\n This project, which includes charging infrastructure, is supported by a grant<\/strong> through the Federal Transit Administration\u2019s (FTA) Low and No Emission Vehicle Deployment Program (LoNo) and is a result of a partnership between New Flyer, MBTA, and the Center for Transportation and the Environment<\/strong> (CTE).<\/p>\n MBTA is the public agency responsible for operating most\u00a0public transportation\u00a0services in\u00a0Greater Boston,\u00a0Massachusetts. Since 2002, New Flyer has delivered over 750 buses to MBTA, including diesel-electric hybrids and low-emission compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. Today\u2019s battery-electric vehicle award follows MBTA\u2019s recent execution of 194 options for New Flyer forty-foot (12 meter) Xcelsiordiesel-electric transit buses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions is born.
