In Orlando, Fla. the station will be located near the Orlando Airport and will fuel a fleet of shuttle buses powered by modified internal combustion engines. At Selfridge, Mich. the station will be located on a United States Military base and will provide hydrogen for a fleet of light duty fuel cell vehicles. Both stations are expected to be operational by the end of 2006.
