Martin Larose, President of Nova Bus, said: “We are very excited to physically unveil our LFSe+ in our home State of New York and mark an important moment in the history of Nova Bus. We are taking another big step in the evolution of zero emission transportation, and I couldn’t be more proud to be a part of it. All of our buses use the LFS platform and are built with the finest expertise and workmanship of our colleagues based in Plattsburgh.”
Powered with up to 564 kWh on onboard energy, the LFSe+ will soon be in the streets of several cities across America, including Broome County, in the state of NY. The positive market response to the new LFSe+ is another proof that Nova Bus expertise pairing with the latest, clean and sustainable technologies is a response to today’s needs.
N.Y.S. Assemblyman D. Billy Jones, said: “Nova Bus is making Plattsburgh the hub for electric bus production for the U.S. market and it’s exciting that they are showcasing one of their innovative LFSe+ buses in Albany for all of New York’s transit operators and policy makers to see first-hand. I am pleased to sponsor the work of the North Country Chamber of Commerce and its NAmTrans subsidiary in support of this major development in bus production, and to have brought Assembly leaders to Nova Bus for briefings and tours, including Speaker Heastie and Transportation Chair Magnarelli. I will continue to help boost this major manufacturing opportunity for New York in every way I can. Congratulations to Nova Bus and its partners!”

The new LFSe+ integrates the proven electric drive motor and next generation power electronics from BAE Systems, which uses advanced materials such as silicon carbide to improve heat management. The lower weight and increased power density of the BAE Systems technology also contribute to bus performance and durability. Powered by an integrated modular system, the electric drive motor significantly decreases maintenance costs and emits no greenhouse gas emissions.

Senator Dan Stec, said: “Nova Bus is a world-class, transportation leader, providing customers in metro areas the best of quality and advanced technology. I could not be more proud to represent this excellent company and its highly-skilled workforce at the state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Plattsburgh and I have no doubt that its LFSe+ electric buses will garner a lot of positive attention at Tuesday’s public transit expo in Albany.”
Nova Bus is committed to always improving our product and processes to reduce pollution and waste in every aspect of our business, and the LFSe+ is our latest demonstration of that commitment.
