New York state transit operator Suffolk County Transit has awarded NFI Group, a supplier of propulsion-agnostic bus and coach mobility solutions and a subsidiary New Flyer of America, a contract for up to 132 buses over the next five years, including 40 Xcelsior CHARGE NG electric buses and 92 Xcelsior hybrid buses.

The latest order was added to New Flyer’s backlog in the first quarter of 2025. It adds to the 73 New Flyer Xcelsior hybrid buses that Suffolk County Transit already has in service in Suffolk County, New York.

In addition to vehicle manufacturing, New Flyer supports its partners with services including parts, infrastructure planning, workforce development and financing.

“New Flyer’s common Xcelsior platform enables agencies to operate hybrid and battery-electric buses with shared parts, tools, and training—delivering real operational savings while maintaining consistent, high-quality performance,” said Chris Stoddart, President, North American Bus and Coach, NFI.
