Up to 53 Battery Electric Buses from Nova Bus Acquired by the City of Regina

January 25, 2024

Nova Bus, has announced a 5-year contract for up to 53 LFSe+, the 40′ long-range battery electric bus model of Nova Bus, by the City of Regina, Saskatchewan.

The first 7 buses are scheduled to be delivered in 2025, with up to 46 buses in option for the remainder of the contract.

The City of Regina’s Energy and Sustainability Framework has selected battery electric as its preferred technology for the transit’s fleet. Regina Transit is therefore committed to purchasing only battery electric models as of 2024, resulting in a gradual replacement of the fleet with alternative technology vehicles by 2040.

“These will be the first battery-electric buses in Regina Transit’s fleet,” said Brad Bells, Director of Transit & Fleet with the City of Regina. “The addition of these electric buses will support the City of Regina’s goal of becoming a 100% renewable city by 2050 and is in line with our Energy and Sustainability Framework.”
