The New Flyer Industries XE40 is a battery-electric transit bus from New Flyer's Xcelsior line. It uses lithium ion batteries from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries which can be recharged enroute using a station provided by Eaton. The bus can also be recharged at the garage. On a full charge, the bus has a range of approximately 128 kilometres.

The XE40 was developed with the co-operation of the province of Manitoba, Manitoba Hydro, Red River College, New Flyer Industries, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The $3 million project was announced in December 2010 with the provincial government investing $1 million.[1][2] By January 2012, a prototype vehicle was being completed using a former XDE40 demonstrator bus. The prototype made its public debut at the Manitoba Legislative Building on June 1, 2012 and is currently on trial in Winnipeg.[3]
