NFI will be offering a battery recycling service to all of its North American customers - the deal applies to all of its subsidiaries. This is an extension of a pilot programme between NFI subsidiary New Flyer and Li-Cycle launched earlier this year.

The five-year contract between New Flyer and CapMetro provides for the supply of up to 171 electric buses, which NFI claims is the largest such contract in the USA to date.

The five-year contract was signed with Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority of Buffalo, New York.

The 118 MCI coaches and 55 New Flyer vehicles, ordered as part of an existing six-year supply agreement, will serve to connect New Jersey with Pennsylvania and New York.

The order is part of customer Champign-Urbana Mass Transit District's federal-supported project to produce its own hydrogen using energy generated by solar power.

Bus manufacturer New Flyer Industries Inc. of Winnipeg, Manitoba, (a subsidiary of NFI Group), will begin to offer the eGen Flex hybrid drive system provided by Allison Transmission of Indianapolis, Indiana, from January 2022 onwards.

Subsidiaries of NFI Group Inc, New Flyer Industries Canada ULC, Manitoba, and New Flyer of America Inc, have successfully completed a battery recycling pilot with lithium-ion battery recycler, Li-Cycle Corporation.

New Flyer Group has appointed Andrew Bartosh as Infrastructure Sales Manager of its New Flyer Infrastructure Solutions team in Anniston.

New Flyer Industries Canada ULC announced the Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium and Brampton Transit have jointly secured CD11.15m in federal funding from Natural Resources Canada to support the adoption of zero-emission transit buses.

New Flyer Industries Canada ULC has supplied the public transit system its first zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE bus.
