Overview
An alternative to battery-electric buses (BEBs) for transit agencies pursuing zero-emissions vehicles is hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Their range and flexibility open up new opportunities for agencies where BEBs might not be as viable. This paper reviews the FCEV market, fueling station configuration options, and considerations for deploying FCEVs in rural transit.
