• Abstract:
  The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) led a team from AC Transit in the extended monitoring of 13 Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) as a part of the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP), working with AC Transit, UTC Power, EnerDel, Van Hool, Siemens Industries, and Dynetek Industries in this endeavor. The extended monitoring demonstrated the exceptional durability of this technology, as the buses were still exceeding their expected performance in 2019, well beyond expected operations through 2016. The data show that these buses are durable and reliable and met or exceeded many of the performance targets identified by FTA and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for determining the readiness of the technology for widespread commercialization.
