New Flyer was established in 1930 and first introduced low floor buses to North America in 1988.  While they did produce many high floor models in 35', 40', and 60' lengths, they have now discontinued these models and only produce low floor models at this time.

The D40LF is New Flyer's predominant model, as many transit agencies throughout North America operate them and many are ordering additional units.

Two identifying characteristics of New Flyer buses are the dual-bubble windshield and the boxy body.  The light placement on the buses are a distinct characteristic as well.
