Accelerating New York Fuel Cell Bus & Hydrogen Infrastructure Deployments
This project will help the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) deploy its first two hydrogen city buses. These buses will run out MTA’s Gun Hill Depot in the Bronx, and will help the authority test the use of hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric Buses (FCEBs) for transit operation. FCEBs provide two advantages compared to the electric buses- they offer longer ranges and can refuel in minutes, two characteristics which are especially useful for city buses which can be on the road 18 hours/day.
This project will deploy two 40' New Flyer FCEBs and should have a range of over 300 miles. The station will be able to fuel up to 40 FCEBs in as little as 10-20 minutes per bus; and the buses and fueling station will have software and communications capabilities to monitor operations in real-time. The MTA will operate the buses on eight routes serving multiple disadvantaged communities throughout the Bronx, helping to reduce emissions in these neighborhoods.
