These vehicles will replace SamTrans' diesel buses and support the agency's transition to a zero-emission fleet to meet sustainability targets defined by the California Air Resources Board's (CARB's) Innovative Clean Transit (ICT) regulation, requiring agencies to transition bus fleets to 100% zero-emission by 2040.
Our partnership with SamTrans spans nearly 35 years. During that time, New Flyer has delivered more than 175 buses, 27 of which were zero-emission. The technology advancements included in this next-generation vehicle will drive a high level of performance while delivering a reduction in environmental impact and improvements to air quality for the community.
This investment in fuel cell-electric buses is made possible through combined funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) vouchers, and local funds.
This purchase will also help SamTrans to meet the U.S. greenhouse gas emissions targets of 50-52% below 2005 levels by 2030, NFI says.
