The city of Winnipeg, the owner and operator of Winnipeg Transit, has awarded a contract to New Flyer for 32 clean diesel, 40-foot Xcelsior® heavy-duty transit buses, with an option to extend the contract for five years.
The buses replace end-of-life vehicles and advance the city of Winnipeg’s 2050 Transportation Master Plan, aimed at safe and efficient movement of people while meeting a growing demand for environmentally sustainable and inclusive transit.
“We’ve delivered nearly 1,000 buses to Winnipeg Transit over 30 years, continually improving propulsion technology to lend enhanced operational and environmental benefits,” said Chris Stoddart, president, New Flyer. “As Winnipeg Transit evolves its fleet to more sustainable options in the future, we will continue advancing our technology, buses and infrastructure to pave the way for the scalable transition to cleaner, safer and more efficient mobility.”
