• Abstract:
  The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP) focuses on developing commercially viable fuel cell bus technologies. The Northeast Advanced Vehicle Consortium (NAVC) is one of three non-profit consortia chosen to manage projects competitively selected under the NFCBP. UTC Power is leading one project to develop a next-generation fuel cell bus based on an earlier-generation design that was demonstrated in several locations, including Connecticut Transit (CTTRANSIT). Four of these next-generation buses are now in service at CTTRANSIT in Hartford, Connecticut, as part of the Nutmeg Project.
