Abstract:This evaluation includes three prototype fuel cell-powered transit buses operating at AC Transit in Oakland, California, since March 20, 2006 and six baseline diesel buses similar in design to the fuel cell buses. This report describes the equipment used (buses and infrastructure) and provides early experience details, lessons learned, and results from the operation of the buses (shown in Figure ES-1) and the supporting hydrogen fueling station through November 30, 2006. In this evaluation report, the fuel cell buses are considered prototype technology that is in the process of being commercialized. The analysis and comparisons with standard diesel buses were done to help baseline the status and progress of the fuel cell bus technology. The intent of this analysis is to determine the status of this implementation and document the improvements that have been made over time at AC Transit.
