The New Flyer Xcelsior is a line of transit buses. It is made in three sizesː 35' rigid, 40' rigid, and a 60' articulated bus. New Flyer Industries started making the bus in 2008. The buses have different motors: conventional diesel, compressed natural gas (CNG), diesel-electric hybrid, hydrogen fuel cell, overhead electric wire and battery electric.
