MARTA Places Orders with New Flyer for Battery-Electric Transit Buses
January 7, 2021
New Flyer of America Inc. says the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA), a transit system that provides public transit to the Atlanta metropolitan region, has awarded New Flyer with a new order for six Xcelsior CHARGE zero-emission, battery-electric 40-foot heavy-duty transit buses.
“As more cities demand reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and greater sustainability, New Flyer is meeting that need with zero-emission buses, technology and infrastructure,” says Chris Stoddart, president of New Flyer of America. “With our battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE buses, MARTA joins agencies across the continent who have begun the transition to sustainable mobility.”
