The electric bus order will join the 33 LFSe+ ordered by BC Transit in spring of 2023. A total of 62 Nova Bus electric buses will be a part of BC Transit's zero-emission fleet.
The LFSe+ is Nova’s model based on the LFS platform, offering the all-electric, sustainable version of the city bus. The LFSe+ operates year-round in several Canadian cities, including Vancouver, British Columbia.
