NFI Subsidiary New Flyer Awarded Largest Hydrogen Fuel Cell-electric Contract in Company History, 108 Buses to California's SamTrans
"Our partnership with SamTrans spans nearly 35 years," said Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI. "During that time, New Flyer has delivered more than 175 buses, 27 of which were zero-emission. The technology advancements included in this next-generation vehicle will drive a high level of performance while delivering a reduction in environmental impact and improvements to air quality for the community."ST. CLOUD, Minn., Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (TSX: NFI, OTC: NFYEF, TSX: NFI.DB) NFI Group Inc. (NFI) a leading independent bus and coach manufacturer and a leader in zero-emission electric mobility solutions, subsidiary New Flyer of America Inc. (New Flyer), today announced a new firm order for 108 zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-electric Xcelsior CHARGE FC 40-foot transit buses from San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans), marking the largest single fuel cell bus order in New Flyer's history. The contract for 108 buses was added to New Flyer's backlog in Q2 2024, with firm orders placed over the second and third quarters.
明尼蘇達州聖克勞德，2024年10月21日(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (tsx: NFI, 場外交易: NFYEF, tsx: NFI.DB) NFI Group Inc. (NFI)是領先的獨立公共汽車和教練製造商，也是零排放電動車解決方案的領導者，旗下子公司美國新飛揚公司(New Flyer)今日宣佈與San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans)達成一項新的108輛零排放氫燃料電池電動Xcelsior CHARGE FC 40英尺過境巴士訂單，標誌着New Flyer歷史上最大單一燃料電池巴士訂單。這108輛巴士的合同在2024年第二季度加入了New Flyer的訂單備貨中，並在第二季度和第三季度下達了實質性訂單。
SamTrans provides transportation services in San Mateo County, extending its reach to San Francisco and Palo Alto, California, delivering close to nine million bus rides across an extensive network of 74 bus routes.
SamTrans在聖馬特奧縣提供運輸服務，並將其服務範圍延伸至加州的舊金山和帕洛阿爾託，通過一個龐大的74條巴士路線網絡提供了將近九百萬次巴士乘車服務。
This investment in fuel cell-electric buses accelerates SamTrans' journey towards net-zero and is made possible through combined funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) vouchers, and local funds. These cutting-edge hydrogen buses will replace SamTrans' diesel buses and support the agency's transition to a zero-emission fleet to meet sustainability targets defined by the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, requiring agencies to transition bus fleets to 100% zero-emission by 2040. This purchase will also help SamTrans to meet the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions targets of 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030.
對燃料電池電動巴士的投資加速了SamTrans實現淨零排放的征程，源自聯邦交通局(FTA)、加利福尼亞州混合動力和零排放卡車和巴士券激勵項目(HVIP)券以及當地資金的共同資助。這些尖端的氫燃料巴士將取代SamTrans的柴油巴士，並支持該機構向零排放車隊的過渡，以達到加利福尼亞空氣資源局(CARB)創新清潔交通(ICT)法規所規定的可持續發展目標，要求各機構在2040年前將巴士車隊轉爲100%零排放。此次採購還將幫助SamTrans實現到2030年時減排50-52%至2005年水平以下的美國溫室氣體排放目標。
