I can tell you an a/c compressor resided there on the demo I got to poke around with. There’s 2 independent systems, one for interior climate control, the other is to keep the batteries cool.

that compressor is for the batteries.

Interesting, I may go poke around myself. It’s strange because every time the air compressor runs to refill the air tanks that windup noise starts after. And not all our buses do it, only 4 out of our 12 electrics

Ex Winnipeg Transit XE40 (998) and Ex New Flyer XD40LFR seen sitting in a lot at Red River Collage

I saw a pic where the XD40 appears to be built on the same frame as the D40LFR  just the body and cosmetics is different. But the frame is pretty much the same. The two humps at the front and back which I believe is more body than actual frame is the only difference.

Really that’s interesting so the XD40 isn’t a new model. It’s just an existing frame with an updated look.

There are substantial changes to the frame between the two models.

Fuel tank placement being the most obvious that springs to mind.
