08:13 AM EDT, 10/21/2024 (MT Newswires) -- NFI Group ( NFYEF ) said Monday its U.S. subsidiary has been awarded a new firm order for 108 zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-electric 40-foot transit buses from San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans).

This is 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 the second quarter, with firm orders placed over the second and third quarters.

The investment is made possible through Federal, state and local government funding. The hydrogen buses will replace SamTrans' diesel buses and support the agency's transition to a zero-emission fleet.
