NEW FLYER
ELECTRIC BUS New Flyer has 40 years and over 100 million miles of experience with electric propulsion including hybrid, trolley and fuel-cell buses, supplying more electric buses to the North American industry in more configurations than any other transit bus manufacturer. New Flyer battery-electric development has been focused on the Xcelsior® platform, our highly successful next-generation transit bus. This technology lowers operational costs and reduces emissions while providing customers with a quiet and comfortable ride. The electric bus is powered by energy stored in rechargeable batteries. Instead of an internal combustion engine, it’s propelled by an electric motor. t 5IF &OFSHZ 4UPSBHF 4ZTUFNT &44 GFBUVSJOH 9"-5 MJUIJVN JPO CBUUFSJFT BSF customizable, ranging from 100 kWh to 300 kWh of electricity and are monitored by a sophisticated battery management system. t 5IF 4JFNFOT &MFDUSJD %SJWF 4ZTUFN DPOWFSUT UISFF QIBTF BMUFSOBUJOH DVSSFOU "$ QPXFS UP ESJWF UIF USBDUJPO NPUPS CZ VTJOH EJSFDU DVSSFOU %$ QPXFS GSPN UIF CBUUFSJFT 8IFO braking, the motor acts as a generator to recover energy, just like in conventional hybrid vehicles, and provides more efficient energy conservation.
