TTC reaches new eBus milestone with over 100 vehicles in service
The TTC now has over 100 battery-electric buses in service across the city, marking another milestone in its goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. These buses will serve communities all over the city and are funded jointly by the federal government and the City of Toronto.
By Q2 2026, all 340 electric buses under procurement will have been delivered, bringing the total eBus fleet to 400.
"This is what federal investment in climate action and public infrastructure looks like,” said Karim Bardeesy, Member of Parliament for Taiaiako'n-Parkdale-High-Park. “100 electric buses on the road in Toronto is a major milestone – it means modern transit, cleaner air, and quieter streets for the people of Toronto. It’s good for public transit, for the health of our communities and the future of our planet. We’re proud to partner with the City of Toronto and the TTC to help deliver a greener, more sustainable future."
“Reliable, environmentally friendly public transit is a priority for the City of Toronto," said Mayor Olivia Chow. “I am pleased to see the TTC making progress on its goal of fleet electrification and achieving a cleaner, greener future for everyone.”
“Our goal is to run a transit system that customers can be proud of, and zero-emission vehicles are the future of sustainable transit,” said TTC Chair Jamaal Myers. “The TTC continues to increase its fleet of environmentally friendly vehicles and make significant strides towards a zero-emissions future. I want to thank the Government of Canada and the City of Toronto for their partnership and support.”
“We are proud to be paving the way for transit electrification across North America, and bringing new, clean, quiet vehicles to customers and employees across the City of Toronto,” said Greg Percy, TTC interim CEO. “We are very pleased to be moving forward with our sustainability goals, while also providing a better transit experience for our customers.”
The TTC is a leader in zero-emission fleet management in North America. In addition to the battery-electric fleet, hybrid-electric buses currently make up approximately 30 per cent of the TTC's entire bus fleet. Hybrid-electric buses use approximately 25% less fuel than diesel buses and run as zero-emission buses in Green Zones—locations where the diesel generator turns off completely, improving local air quality. The TTC is also procuring five battery-electric Wheel-Trans buses, which are expected to be in service for testing in 2026, followed by a 2-year pilot evaluation.
