ZümmyZüm Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 3 hours ago, Ber said: any news on the LFSes? NFI has delivered their share of their electric buses but nothing yet from Nova. Nova has delivered, I know of one for sure that’s been in operator training ( 1922 ) and it is in a special electric bus scheme, I’m unaware if there’s more delivered in YRT livery or special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAmissions1 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 From a Facebook post: Someone confirmed that there are two XE40 units in production at New Flyer's manufacturing facility. Seeing the photo of one unit on social media. Can't see the unit number very well in the photo other than it looks completed on the outside ready for delivery. Two units are supposed to be delivered in the fall it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm the social media post showing the photo of 2101. Routes 44 Bristol and 55 Davis are the two routes that operate electric buses. Right now, there aren't any plans to expand beyond the two routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeTio Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 Have all of the 21xx XE40s arrived yet? There were photos on Facebook where a few of them were parked at the New Flyer Plant in Crookston, and also someone spotted a Nova on a flatbed a few days ago.

Only one that has been confirmed to be put into revenue service is 2101 as of August 25th. The other units are still in the process of delivery. Once they install the fare box and Presto along with other internals, they will put it into revenue service when needed. Three electric buses are in revenue service during peak periods. One on 44 Bristol and two on 55 Davis Drive. The other delivery is the 11 Nova LFS articulated buses which will replace the 11 Van Hool AG300 buses numbered 8201 to 8211. None have been delivered or put into revenue service that I am aware of. The AG300 are still used on Purple currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing photo proof regarding 2105. 2101 is still the only new unit in-service. No info regarding the other units which are not tracking yet.

Articulated Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I've heard from other sources that there were 6 XE40 units expected for this year (so 2101-2106). They are supposed to be "long-range" eBuses with extended battery life, hence why we're seeing it deployed on longer routes like the 50 and 96; the first order (1911-1914) were "short-range" buses that require on-route charging after a few hours of service, which is why they are only assigned to short routes like the 44, 55, and 56, and more recently to other rush-hour runs that are only out in service for 2-3 hours. Despite a couple of people complaining, I have purposefully not made a Wiki page for the new units until the full fleet range is determined. YRT has an unfortunate tendency in recent years of having a different number of buses show up than what was initially ordered or approved in Council reports. It's just more annoying in this case because, unusually for YRT, one pilot bus arrived well in advance of the rest of the order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTAmissions1 Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 2105 in the process of delivery. Currently at New Flyer Industries. EDIT: Saw it posted already.

Joshuamumble Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 2104 has entered service on route 96 (not my photo, credit to the author) EDIT (again): 2106 has entered service as of December 3, 2021 (photo attached, credit to the author) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAmissions1 Posted March 3, 2022 Report Share Posted March 3, 2022 2105 has finally reached revenue service. Last tracked position was on the 96 Keele-Yonge on March 2nd. This completes the batch of XE40 buses. The other outstanding order is the 11 replacement articulated buses to replace the remaining 2008 AG300 buses. Thanks Gamer Studios on the YRT/Viva thread for noting this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what you're referring to, and it's very unclear even what you are trying to refer to. Also, what is a "new gflyer"? I'm not aware of YRT having any "gflyer" vehicles in their fleet. BTW, this is supposed to be a thread for "New Vehicle Deliveries", meaning vehicles that have either just been delivered, or are entering service for the first time. It's not for changes to buses that are already part of the fleet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ns8401 Posted August 9, 2022 Report Share Posted August 9, 2022 Saw a couple of 60 Footers headed east on Interstate 69 in Michigan headed towards Port Huron, Sarnia and beyond. Sunday 8/7. Can’t get numbers easily driving a bus at 65mph in the opposite direction. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
