Winnipeg’s New Flyer Industries says the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) has awarded it a five-year contract for 186 battery-electric, heavy-duty buses.
The bus-maker says the deal also includes an option for the TTC to buy up to an additional 435 of the same 40-foot buses.
New Flyer says the next-generation battery-electric buses will help the TTC meet its goal of converting its entire fleet to zero emissions by 2040.
