09:42 AM EDT, 08/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- NFI Group ( NFYEF ) , which provides bus and coach mobility solutions, on Wednesday said its subsidiary Alexander Dennis opened its U.S. manufacturing facility in Las Vegas and delivered the first two of 10 new Enviro500 double deck buses to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC).

The company said that among the first buses to be completed at the facility are 10 Enviro500 for the area's transit agency, RTC and another 10 Enviro500 are now on order for delivery next year and will again be built locally in Southern Nevada.

"As the only site in the country building double-decker buses, this facility not only supports the RTC's mission to provide safe, efficient, and innovative transit solutions, but it also brings quality jobs and economic investment to our region," said Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada Chief Executive Officer, MJ Maynard-Carey.

The new Enviro500 buses for RTC Transit are almost 13 meters long and slightly more than 4 meters tall, with a capacity of 100 passengers. More than 70% of the materials and components for the buses are sourced from US based suppliers, said the company.

NFI Group ( NFYEF ) said that the double decker production is currently one bus per week and is expected to ramp up to one and a half buses per week through 2026, allowing Alexander Dennis Inc to manufacture 75 vehicles per year.

"As demand grows, there is opportunity to increase capacity within the existing facility with further investments and workforce development, which could increase employment from over 115 local jobs initially," added the company.
