• Abstract:
  AC Transit and the other transit agency partners are collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Program to evaluate the buses in real-world service. DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory will collect and analyze performance and operations data from the new buses and the fueling stations. Comparing those data side by side with similar information from conventional technology buses allows researchers to better understand the status of the technology and determine if future development work is needed. Information gathered during the demonstration will also help fleets make informed purchase decisions. Results will be fed back into the research and development process to focus future resources, as appropriate.
