Transitioning fleets to low and zero-emission.
Clean diesel technology provides a lower emission alternative when in traditional diesel propulsion buses, making a step toward cleaner air and more sustainable mobility.
Leading innovation in mobility.
New Flyer has been leading innovation in mobility for 90 years, and today supports growing North American cities with sustainable buses, technology, and infrastructure.
Floorplans
Improved efficiency and lower operating costs.
- Weighs 8% less than previous models achieved through structure optimization and lighter weight supplier components, leading to improved efficiency and lower operating costs.
- Delivers up to 8% fuel savings, reducing overall cost of ownership.
Significant difference in air quality.
Xcelsior® clean diesel combines ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel, advanced engines, and effective emissions controls, resulting in a highly efficient and virtually smoke-free engine that can achieve lower emissions, reduce GHGs, and reduce the cost of bus operation.
-
90%
Reduction in non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) emissions.
-
95%
Reduction in NOx emissions.
-
80%
Reduction in particulate matter emissions.
Emission standards.
New Flyer clean diesel 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.
According to the EPA and NHTSA, the final phase 2 greenhouse gas emissions standards (including heavy-duty vehicles produced from 2021-2027) are expected to:
- Lower CO2 emissions by approximately 1.1 billion metric tons.
- Save vehicle owners fuel costs of about $170 billion.
- Reduce oil consumption by up to two billion barrels over the lifetime of the vehicles sold under the program.
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
