A new US hydrogen-powered bus project hopes to cut fuel cell propulsion system weight and volume by over 50% by doing away with the need for an additional battery system.
The Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) has launched a battery-free hydrogen fuel cell bus proof-of-concept project in partnership with Nimbus Power Systems, New Flyer and AC Transit.
Supported under the FTA-sponsored Transit Vehicle Innovation Deployment Centers (TVIDC) programme, CTE plans to use fuel cell technology patented by Connecticut-based Nimbus in a bus to demonstrate load-following capabilities similar to a diesel powertrain.
