Abstract:

In September 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy ; Laboratory (NREL) published a report that reviewed past and present fuel cell bus technology development and implementation in the United States. That report reviewed and summarized fuel cell transit bus technology development and demonstration experiences. As part of that report, data evaluation results and accomplishments through July 2007 were presented from DOE and NREL fuel cell bus evaluations at Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit), SunLine Transit Agency, and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA). The report finished by exploring future research needs to support commercialization of fuel cell transit bus technology. ; This new report provides additional evaluation results from NREL, focused on data from August 2007 through July 2008, followed by a summary of what’s next for several planned fuel cell bus demonstrations including those in the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP). The report ends with an update of research needs for continued success in introducing fuel cell propulsion and hydrogen fuel into transit bus operations.
