New Flyer is known for breaking new ground with the first low floor bus, the first diesel electric bus and most recently, the world’s first zero emission hydrogen fuel cell fleet. We remain dedicated to innovation and excellence as we provide customers with a wide range of products.

1. Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ - The Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ offers a range of over 370 miles on a single refueling, achieved in just 6-20 minutes. It features the Ballard Power Systems' FCmove™-HD+ fuel cell power module, which is compact and highly reliable, reducing lifecycle costs through lower maintenance and fewer parts.
2. SmartRider™ Ramp - This innovative ramp provides unmatched accessibility with variable kneeling heights and a slope ratio of 1:6, supporting up to 1000 lbs. It enhances accessibility, particularly for passengers with disabilities, ensuring a comfortable and efficient boarding experience.
3. Energy Storage System Enclosures - Manufactured by New Flyer, these enclosures use a waterproof design that is lighter and reduces parts by 90%, simplifying maintenance and enhancing serviceability. The batteries are high-power, rapid-charge, and actively liquid-cooled to maintain optimal temperatures.
4. Hexagon Purus Hydrogen Storage Cylinders - These Type 4 hydrogen storage cylinders enable the Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ to achieve its extended range of 370+ miles. They are Buy America compliant and have been a crucial component in New Flyer’s hydrogen fuel cell electric transit buses since 2020.
5. High-Grade Accelera™ Traction System - The Siemens ELFA™ 3 traction system in the Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ recovers up to 90% energy through regenerative braking. It is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, improving efficiency and increasing passenger capacity while delivering smooth, quiet, and emission-free driving.
