NFI subsidiary New Flyer awarded 46 bus order from Las Vegas RTC
New Flyer further enhances RTC’s fleet, exclusively comprised of NFI’s advanced vehicles
ST. CLOUD, Minn., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (TSX: NFI, OTC: NFYEF, TSX: NFI.DB) NFI Group Inc. (NFI) a leader in propulsion-agnostic bus and coach mobility solutions, subsidiary New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer), today announced a firm award from the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) for 46 Xcelsior® CNG 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% less nitrogen oxide (NOx) than diesel engines and meets 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.”
