More than 100 emission-free buses to hit Calgary roads in next three years

 

 

More than 100 emission-free buses will be on Calgary roads in the next three years. The city announced that Calgary Transit is purchasing 120 new electric buses, as part of funding from a previous federal government grant. The city said it will purchase Canadian-made Nova LFSE+ electric buses from longtime supplier Nova Bus. The buses will replace some of its aging diesel-fueled vehicles and strengthen the reliability of transit’s services, the news release said.

E-buses are already in use in Banff, Toronto and Ottawa. Under the previous Justin Trudeau government, the federal government announced $325 million in funding for the City of Calgary to purchase 259 electric buses by June 2023.
