The five LFSe+ buses will be assembled at the Nova Bus facility in Plattsburgh, N.Y., and will be part of Metro's Battery-Electric Bus Test and Evaluation program.
The new Nova LFSe+ Electric bus is the first of 15 new buses that will more than quadruple TransLink’s battery-electric bus fleet from four to 19 over the next year.
The purchase is in line with the MTA's goal of transitioning its entire 5,800 bus fleet to zero-emission vehicles by 2040.

The MTA Selection Committee unanimously recommended an award of the buses to Nova Bus based on evaluation criteria such as overall project cost, and delivery.
The METRO Board authorized the immediate purchase of 20 of those electric buses and this order will be its first electric bus purchase on a total fleet of 1,300.
Powered with up to 564 kWh on onboard energy, the LFSe+ will soon be in the streets of several cities across America, including Broome County, in the state of N.Y.
