The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in Orange County, California, has placed an order for 50 zero-emission buses from New Flyer of America, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. The order consists of 40 Xcelsior CHARGE FC hydrogen fuel cell-electric buses and 10 Xcelsior CHARGE NG battery-electric buses. These buses are part of NFI's order backlog for the fourth quarter of 2024 and will be financed through Federal Transit Administration (FTA) grants and local funding. OCTA, serving 3.2 million residents across 34 cities and providing 33 million passenger trips annually, has been integrating zero-emission technology into its fleet since initiating a hydrogen fuel cell-electric bus pilot program in 2020 and a battery-electric bus pilot in 2022, both using New Flyer buses. To support its hydrogen initiative, OCTA has developed the largest hydrogen fueling station for transit buses in the United States. This investment by OCTA signifies a significant step towards sustainable public transportation, with a focus on environmental and economic benefits. The long-standing partnership between OCTA and New Flyer demonstrates a commitment to delivering reliable, cost-effective, and clean transit solutions that promote economic growth, job opportunities, and energy efficiency. The order for 50 zero-emission buses reflects a shared vision for advancing sustainable transit in Orange County and contributing to the broader goals of reducing emissions and enhancing public transportation infrastructure.
