SunLine collaborated with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies (HFC&IT) Program on the evaluation of the 30-foot hybrid fuel cell bus that was developed by ThunderPower LLC, a joint venture by Thor Industries and ISE Research. The data gathered during the ThunderPower bus demonstration will help fleets make informed purchasing decisions and help researchers assess whether fuel cell vehicles can meet commercialization requirements. This evaluation is one of several DOE projects that support the research and development of highly efficient, low- or zero-emission fuel cell power systems, which serve as an alternative to internal combustion engines. The demonstration is consistent with the HFC&IT goal of having advanced technology vehicles enter the marketplace by 2010.
This report provides an overview of the ThunderPower fuel cell bus demonstration at SunLine Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, California. Under contra...
