San Diego’s Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) awarded New Flyer a new contract for six 40-foot, zero-emission, battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE™ heavy-duty transit buses.
The purchase, supported by competitive state grants, California’s Cap-and-Trade Program, and the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017, continues San Diego’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions as part of a zero-emission pilot program that supports overarching California Climate Action goals. Buses are expected to arrive in 2019 and will be tested along various existing routes.
