Nova Bus will deploy four 40-foot LFe buses in Montreal in 2019 to provide citizens with a sustainable mode transport.

The buses will be delivered to STM (Société de transport de Montréal) and are expected to replace four diesel models running from Square Victoria to the Angrignon terminal.

Nova Bus supplied three electric buses to STM last year as part the Montreal City Mobility project. The public transport agency is now assessing the technology over a three-year period at passenger routes.
