Fuel Cell Bus

This project is a research effort to develop, build, and deploy a fuel cell powered hybrid transit vehicle, to be used on the University of Delaware Campus and within the State of Delaware. Fuel cell technology offers the potential to reduce our reliance on foreign oil supplies and to decrease the effects of harmful emissions on our environment. The project will focus on developing a fuel cell powered technology demonstration vehicle, establishing a refueling infrastructure, and conducting reliability, Safety, and durability studies
