You better not doze off at the bus stop when Sunline's new hydrogen bus pulls up. That's because the bus has no engine and makes almost no noise. The bus runs on hydrogen, so it has no emissions. It's one of only four of its kind in the United States.

Sunline is offering free rides on the new bus, now through Labor Day.

“It's a charming and great bus.”

Rider Ron Freels was impressed with the sleek design of the bus it was made in Belgium and cost over 3 million dollars.

“It is quite unique, as far as the performance and it's comfortable.”

The release of the new hydrogen powered bus is timely because gasoline prices are at an all time high. The hydrogen bus, which was funded by federal and state grants, is here in the desert because proponents want to see how it runs in the hot weather.

“Right now we're the test bed of the industry.”

Mike Oglesby, who runs Sunline, says he's confident that clean hydrogen fuel is the future of transportation, especially with rising gasoline prices.

“Its zero emission and the only thing that comes out of the tailpipe is water, and the water is drinkable.”

The clean-fuel bus can go 350 miles before it needs hydrogen refueling and it will be cruising on different bus routes every day so that everyone in the desert can have a chance to experience this new way of riding the bus.
