Abstract:The objective of the DOE/NREL evaluation program is to provide comprehensive, unbiased evaluation results of advanced technology vehicle development and operations, evaluation of hydrogen infrastructure development and operation, and descriptions of the facility modifications required for safe operation of the fuel cell vehicles. This evaluation includes economic, technical, emissions, and safety factors. Decision makers, including transit operators, considering the use of these advanced technology vehicles are the primary audience for this information. Each of the transit agencies participating in the demonstration of fuel cell buses has specific objectives that generally include the demonstration of safe, reliable, efficient, and cost effective operation of fuel cell buses and fueling infrastructure in transit operations. The California state agencies (California Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board), the California Fuel Cell Partnership (CaFCP), FTA, and the DOE have objectives for participating in this program that include (but are not limited to) promoting the successful demonstration of fuel cell technologies for transit buses and supporting infrastructure. The demonstration and evaluation program has two major goals for this collaborative effort as follows: Create and provide credible data results and evaluation to the transit bus and fuel cell industries that go beyond the “proof of concept” of fuel cell transit buses and infrastructure. These results are also intended to be useful to policy-makers and funding organizations. Create results that focus on performance and usage including progress over time and experience from integration of vehicle systems, operations, and facilities for the fuel cell transit buses and supporting infrastructure.
