Promoting hydrogen-powered transportation and zero emission vehicles

Public transportation funding and oversight

Public transit buses powered by hydrogen fuel cells instead of traditional diesel or gasoline engines. The article discusses next-generation models that are smaller and lighter than current full-size options.

Electrochemical devices that convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity to power electric motors in aircraft.

A system that combines different sources of energy, in this case, solar and wind power, to generate electricity.

A program funded by the Federal Transit Administration that advances fuel cell technology and examines its benefits in transportation, having already funded numerous hydrogen-powered buses.

Development of smaller and lighter fuel cell buses that are expected to be more powerful than current full-size options and powered by hydrogen fuel.

Analysis of current fuel cell and transportation markets to determine the viability of fuel cell buses and their commercial competitiveness against hybrid energy systems.

A smaller and lighter hydrogen-powered fuel cell bus designed to be more powerful than current full-size options. One bus is expected to be deployed with CTTransit in Connecticut.
