Ranges of 230+ miles for the J4500 CHARGE™, 225+ miles for the D45 CRT LE CHARGE™ and D45 CRT CHARGE™ at average road speeds and conditions.
Energy-dense nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) lithium ion batteries with high-power plug-in charging from empty to full in less than 4 hours.
Regenerative braking with 90% energy recovery, making for highly efficient driving in start-stop traffic conditions.
A 45-foot electric coach can avoid approximately 80 metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) annually.
MCI’s early entries in clean-diesel, CNG, and diesel-electric hybrid commuter coaches have led the industry for more than a decade. In the last two decades alone, New Flyer has expanded in three categories of zero-emission buses — battery-electric, trolley-electric, and hydrogen fuel cell-electric — along with the widest range of charging options.
As part of NFI, MCI has leveraged this impressive history of electric-driven innovation and expertise in our electric coach product line, which makes us your best partner in battery-electric propulsion.
All MCI battery-electric coaches are interoperable with charging equipment that supports all heavy-duty electric vehicles.
Depot charging is the preferred method for MCI coaches. Slower charging reduces infrastructure cost, complexity, and battery degradation. Plug-in chargers can be used for overnight, mid-day, and with on-route charging.
All on-board sub-systems and accessories are electrically driven and shared across product models. AC power is supplied through a dedicated inverter for the air compressor, HVAC compressors, and energy storage cooling unit. The coach also has a high-capacity converter unit to supply 24-volt DC power for power steering, interior fans, lights and other standard vehicle accessories.
