NFI Group (NFI-T) Canada's Green Energy Plan Ottawa is ramping up plans to move Canada's public transit fleets from diesel to electric buses with a dedicated $2.7-billion fund. The money is in addition to the $1.5-billion funding for electric buses that was announced earlier this year by the Canada Infrastructure Bank. Infrastructure Minister Catherine McKenna said the goal is for the bank and the new fund to work together so that cities have a range of options to buy new electric buses and build the charging infrastructure that's needed for them to operate. The $2.7-billion fund for electric bus infrastructure will come from a plan to spend $5.9-billion over five years on transit-related projects. That fund was announced in February, along with an announcement to create a dedicated public-transit transfer to municipalities worth $3-billion a year, starting in 2026. The February funding announcement was praised by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. Canada is home to several companies that manufacture zero-emission buses, including Nova Bus in Saint Eustache, Que.; NFI Group in Winnipeg; and GreenPower Motor in Vancouver.
