Kingston Transit 2107E-2108E
Kingston Transit 2107E-2108E are New Flyer XE40 battery-electric buses built and delivered in 2020-2021. They are the first battery-electric buses in Kingston Transit's fleet. A $47 million joint investment in active transportation in Kingston by the municipal, provincial, and federal governments was announced on August 10, 2020 [1]. These investments allowed the procurement of two electric buses and six diesel buses. Both electric buses entered service on July 29, 2021.
Initially delivered in the blue Kingston Express paint scheme, prior to entering service they were wrapped with a modified green Kingston Express/Electric bus scheme. The large 'X' over the rear windows incorporate the text 'Electric Bus', while the bottom element of the 'X' stretching to the front of the bus is styled as an electric plug and cable.
Externally, these buses are equipped with white Luminator SMT signs and, to save weight, Alcoa aluminum wheel rims. Inside, for further weight savings, these buses are equipped with Insight Prime seating with plastic seat inserts.
