Hexagon Purus, a world leading manufacturer of zero-emission mobility and infrastructure solutions, has been selected by New Flyer, North America’s largest mass mobility solutions provider, to supply H₂ cylinders for the fifth consecutive year. New Flyer, a subsidiary of NFI Group Inc. (NFI), is playing a key role in enabling zero-emission transportation in North America, deploying H₂ buses and infrastructure in cities across the U.S. and Canada.

Hexagon Purus will continue to provide its Type 4 H₂ storage cylinders for New Flyer’s next generation, zero-emission H₂ fuel cell-electric transit bus, the Xcelsior CHARGE FC™, enabling a driving range of 370+ miles/600 km on a single refueling. The total value of this contract is estimated to be approximately $6.3 MM.

Production of the Type-4 H₂ storage cylinders will be out of Hexagon Purus’ facility in Westminster, Maryland (U.S.). Since 2020, Hexagon Purus has delivered H₂ cylinders for more than 200 New Flyer H₂ fuel cell-electric transit buses.

"New Flyer’s next generation zero-emission H₂ fuel cell-electric transit bus, the Xcelsior CHARGE FC, is North America’s most advanced H₂ bus and is built on decades of experience and innovation,” said Brad Barnes, Strategic Sourcing Vice President, NFI. “We are thrilled to continue our longstanding partnership with Hexagon Purus and look forward to supporting our customers by putting more high-performing H₂ fuel cell-electric transit buses on the road in North America during 2025”.

“We have built a strong relationship with New Flyer over several years, and we are very happy to continue supporting them in 2025,” said Michael Kleschinski, EVP Mobility & Infrastructure. “There is an increasing demand for zero-emission solutions in public transportation, and New Flyer’s H₂ fuel cell-electric transit bus offering plays a vital role in decarbonizing public transportation”.

The cylinders will be delivered throughout 2025.
