Abstract:This report provides preliminary evaluation results for one prototype fuel cell bus and one prototype hydrogen hybrid internal combustion engine (HHICE) bus operating at the SunLine Transit Agency (SunLine) in Thousand Palms, California (Palm Springs/Coachella Valley area). Purchased for $3.1 million and manufactured by Van Hool and ISE Corp., the fuel cell bus features an electric hybrid drive system with a UTC Power PureMotionTM 120 Fuel Cell Power System and ZEBRA batteries for energy storage. Purchased for $1.2 million, the HHICE bus from New Flyer has essentially the same electric hybrid drive system from ISE Corp., but with ultracapacitors for energy storage and a Ford V10 Triton engine customized to operate on hydrogen fuel.
