Posted by willD on Wed Jun 1 18:21:15 2005, in response to New Flyer Designations....Re: The All New, New Flyer E40LF, posted by CompoBUS on Wed Jun 1 17:01:00 2005. I believe H and F were used interchangibly by busfans and even TAs during the Ballard Fuel Cell bus program in Vancouver and Chicago. However "H40LF" appears nowhere on the New Flyer website, the unofficial NFI production list, or in any literature I have seen released on those buses by NFI or Ballard. It'd seem the official letter is 'F' for a fuel cell, and since the program only included hydrogen fuel cells and didn't attempt to use petrolium based fuel cells, H is somewhat redundant in the designation. I suppose if the H desginator refers to a process of developing power from hydrogen gas outside of a fuel cell (such as combustion in a modified diesel engine), or if petrolium fuel cells come into use on NFI buses (however unlikey that is) then "H40LF" would be a legitimate designation. |
