New Flyer Industries Canada, a subsidiary of bus and coach mobility solutions provider NFI, has received an order of 124 Xcelsior CHARGE NG electric buses from OC Transpo in Ottawa.

The order is an option off New Flyer’s 2023 agreement with the Toronto Transit Commission and was part of New Flyer’s first-quarter 2025 backlog.

OC Transpo previously ordered 51 Xcelsior CHARGE NG buses, bringing the agency’s total investment in New Flyer’s electric bus platform to 175 vehicles. The purchase is funded through a combination of local investment and federal support from the Canada Infrastructure Bank and Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada’s (HICC) Zero Emission Transit Fund (ZETF).

“This follow-up order from OC Transpo highlights our commitment to ensuring competitive delivery timelines so that transit riders can access the new fleet in 2026,” said Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, at NFI.
