Chronology
Predecessor	New Flyer Low Floor

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.

Xcelsior
Model	Power	Length	Generation
X: Xcelsior	N: compressed natural gas (CNG) D: diesel DE: diesel-electric hybrid E: battery-electric HE: hydrogen fuel cell T: electric trolleybus	35: 35 feet (11 m) 40: 40 feet (12 m) 60: 60 feet (18 m) articulated	none: Original Generation NG: Next Generation

For example, a New Flyer XE40 NG is a 40' (nominal) rigid Next Generation Xcelsior with battery-electric power, or an XN60 is a 60' articulated Original Generation Xcelsior with CNG power.
