New Flyer has unveiled an optional extended range hydrogen four-tank-module for its Xcelsior CHARGE FC 40-foot fuel cell-electric bus. The new solution aims to enhance vehicle and operational flexibility by adding 17.5kg of onboard fuel capacity. The announcement was made in partnership with the Humboldt Transit Authority in northern California, one of the first agencies to integrate this technology into its fleet. These additional tanks can extend the bus's range by up to 120 miles, providing increased service capabilities. New Flyer's Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Jennifer McNeill, highlighted the importance of mobility solutions that cater to various communities, including those with longer service routes and harsh climates. The successful implementation of this technology showcases improved performance in both fuel economy and range, exceeding expectations. This achievement enables more reliable and dependable service for the community, demonstrating the positive impact of innovative solutions on the environment and the passengers served. The addition of four transverse-mounted tanks allows storage for five standard hydrogen tanks, resulting in a 50% boost in fuel capacity. This technological advancement signifies a significant step towards sustainable and efficient public transportation, setting a precedent for future innovation in the industry.
