• Abstract:
  SunLine is collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fuel Cell Technologies Program to evaluate the bus in revenue service. DOE’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) is collecting and analyzing performance and operations data from the new bus and from five CNG buses in similar service. Comparing data side by side with similar information from conventional technology buses allows researchers and manufacturers 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. The results will be fed back into the research and development process to appropriately focus future resources.
