Nova Bus, a reliable partner for achieving sustainable goals
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its bus fleet is a key goal of Metrolinx and HSR, and choosing Nova Bus directly aligns with this objective. The agency recognized that the latest-generation natural gas powertrain technologies would enable it to achieve this ambition, as they can reduce GHG emissions relative to diesel equivalents and help improve local air quality. By integrating these innovations into its LFS platform, Nova Bus stands out as the partner of choice for this regional transit agency, which made more than 71.8 million trips in 2025. The special relationship that Nova Bus maintains with its customers throughout the bus lifecycle is also a key factor for companies looking for bus suppliers.
