The New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE H2, marketed now as the Xcelsior CHARGE FCT, is the hydrogen fuel cell version of the Xcelsior CHARGE family of battery-electric transit buses, with the model code XHE. A fuel cell power module makes electricity from hydrogen and also acts as an on-board charger that extends the range of the battery, so the bus needs no off-board electric charging. The current generation pairs a Ballard FCmove-HD+ fuel cell module with New Flyer's own rooftop battery packaging and an Accelera by Cummins ELFA 3 traction drive, and New Flyer quotes up to 370 miles on one fill, which takes 10 to 18 minutes. It seats 40 to 52 passengers with two wheelchair positions and comes in 40-foot and 60-foot lengths. Earlier New Flyer fuel cell buses were built on the older Low Floor chassis, and in 2016 the company received an order for 25 XHE40 buses under a California Air Resources Board programme.
