hydrogen fuel cell

Calif.'s OCTA to purchase 10 battery-electric buses

The pilot program comes in the wake of OCTA’s debut earlier this year of 10 new hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses.

The series of tests is being performed at night at up to about 87 miles per hour without passengers.

Access to data from real-world operation of hydrogen and fuel-cell applications and help guide future DOE research and development.

The battery-electric Xcelsior CHARGE H2 buses, built by New Flyer, use compressed hydrogen as an energy source.

To move residents through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero-emission vehicles will be allowed on the main thoroughfares.
