    New NREL Publication: Fuel Cell Buses in US Transit Fleets: Summary of Experiences and Current Status

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has recently published a report on fuel cell buses in the United States.  This report reviews past and present fuel cell bus technology development and demonstration, specifically focusing on experiences and progress in the United States.  This review encompasses results from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/NREL fuel cell bus evaluations as well as plans for the U.S. Federal Transit Administration’s National Fuel Cell Bus Program.  The primary focus is on descriptive comparisons of fuel cell transit bus operation in the United States and on industry’s need to continue successful implementations of these advanced technologies.

The report summarizes overall accomplishments and explores implementation and operational experiences at three DOE/NREL evaluation sites:

•  Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in San Jose, California, along with partner transit agency San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) in San Carlos, California

•  SunLine Transit Agency in Thousand Palms, California (in the Palm Springs area)
•  Alameda-Contra Costa Transit District (AC Transit) in Oakland, California, along with its partner transit agency, Golden Gate Transit (GGT) in San Rafael, California
