New Flyer Low Floor

The New Flyer Low Floor was the family of low-floor transit buses that New Flyer Industries of Winnipeg built for North American operators from 1991 to 2014. Its D40LF, a diesel-powered 40-foot rigid bus, was the first low-floor bus sold in the United States and Canada. The series grew to 38 variants named by powertrain, length and body style, so a DE60LFR is a diesel-electric hybrid articulated bus in the Restyled body. Lengths ran from 30 to 60 feet, and powertrains covered diesel, compressed natural gas, gasoline-electric, diesel-electric and hydrogen-electric hybrid versions. The design drew on the Dutch Den Oudsten B85 and B86, and production began at Grand Forks, North Dakota. Restyled and Advanced body styles arrived in 2005, and the Xcelsior replaced every version between 2010 and 2014.
