Unmatched Safety.
New Flyer continually references and integrates industry-leading safety measures and best practices to its manufacturing process, including recommendations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) and National Fire Protection Association (“NFPA”) 2019 – both of which are considered to be industry standards.
Commitment to Clean, Safe, Sustainable Transit
Every day, New Flyer buses carry millions of people to their destinations –this is not a responsibility we take lightly. Together with leading transit agencies, we are proud to deliver safe, low-emission mobility solutions to communities across North America.
New Flyer CNG buses conform to the EPA and NHTSA comprehensive Heavy-Duty National Program that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption for heavy-duty highway vehicles.
New Flyer has delivered nearly 14,000 CNG buses to transit agencies across the United States and Canada.
How it works.
CNG is made by compressing natural gas, storing it in cylindrical tanks placed on the roof, and distributing to engine systems through a main fuel supply line. CNG fuel systems transfers high-pressure natural gas from the storage tank through the main fuel supply line to a fuel block manifold and filter. The natural gas pressure level is reduced using a pressure regulator to be compatible with the engine fuel injection system. Fuel is then introduced into the intake manifold or combustion chamber.
-
Easy Transition
With fewer infrastructure resources than battery-electric buses, CNG buses can be immediately deployed and scaled, helping to transition your fleets to low and zero-emission.
-
Cost-Effective
The price of natural gas remains steady and less expensive than diesel.
-
Low Maintenance
CNG buses are easier to maintain than traditional diesel engine buses.
Dual-sided Boarding Option.
New Flyer offers an optional three-door configuration that includes a street-side door for bus rapid transit (BRT) application. Available on all Xcelsior® 40-foot and 60-foot buses, the three-door bus design ensures faster, more flexible BRT platform boarding and enhanced passenger experience.
Benefits of dual-sided doors:
- A center median can become a platform with a single station for both directions
- Curb lanes are freed up, making for an uninterrupted flow of vehicle traffic along the right-side curbs
- Left-side doors bring new options for one-way streets or dedicated right-of-ways
- New designs for BRT stations are now possible with faster boarding and de-boarding
