New Flyer Introduces 60-Foot Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus
New Flyer of America, a subsidiary of New Flyer Industries Inc., recently conducted the inaugural road demonstration of its Xcelsior® XHE60 heavy-duty 60-foot articulated hydrogen fuel cell transit bus—according to the company, the first in North America. New Flyer partnered with Ballard Power Systems Inc. and Siemens to develop the propulsion system, which uses a combination of batteries, a fuel cell and hydrogen storage. Representatives of AC Transit, Oakland, CA, and Metro Transit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, attended the vehicle’s debut and demonstration. New Flyer is a subrecipient of an FTA National Fuel Cell Bus grant administered by CALSTART, a non-profit organization that focuses on clean air technology commercialization.
