ST. CLOUD, Minn. — New Flyer of America Inc. has received a new order for three Xcelsior buses from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA).
The subsidiary of NFI Group Inc., a Winnipeg-based bus manufacturer said the order brings the total of 25 forty-foot Xcelsior clean-diesel buses, 75 forty-foot Xcelsior compressed natural gas buses, and 10 sixty-foot articulated Xcelsior clean-diesel buses. The order converts 110 buses from the option backlog to firm orders.
