Canada / USA – New Flyer of America Inc a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., has announced an order from the Connecticut Department of Transportation (“CTDOT”) for 50, forty-foot heavy-duty Xcelsior clean-diesel buses (50 equivalent units or “EUs”). The order converts 50 buses from the option backlog to firm orders, with 61 units remaining in the option backlog.
The new buses, operating under the CTtransit name, replace older vehicles in the fleet with new, more fuel-efficient buses. They are part of a five-year contract for 485 buses announced in 2016. In addition to replacing older buses, CTDOT will integrate these fifty buses into the current Hartford location bus fleet to service the City of Hartford and surrounding areas.
