FTA to Fund $12 Million in Fuel-Cell Bus Projects
12 October 2006 GreenCongress.com
Excerpts:
1. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced today that it will provide $12 million in funding for several major advanced fuel-cell bus projects to CALSTART, the California operating division of WestStart-CALSTART.
2. UTC Power will provide the fuel cell for the SunLine and AC Transit buses. New Flyer Industries will develop a purpose-built bus specifically designed for fuel-cell applications for the SunLine project.
3. The program provided targeted funding for the fuel-cell bus industry because it’s seen as a likely early adopter of the technology. Hydrogen is more viable in a mass transit application because it doesn’t require a widespread re-fueling infrastructure and the large fuel-storage cylinders can be placed on the roof of the buses.
4. BAE Systems will provide the hybrid propulsion system and do the systems integration on the bus.
