Phase 1-Hydrogen Powered Vehicles

The Greater New Haven Transit District (GNHTD) expects to increase ridership and reduce pollution by developing hydrogen powered transit vehicles and their operational support infrastructure. The GNHTD Hydrogen Powered Vehicle System Project-Phase I will generate design plans for development of hydrogen powered transit vehicles. The project elements include vehicle design and engineering, development of a comprehensive marketing program, a public and industry outreach plan, an operational route study, vehicle operation and maintenance training, facility upgrade requirements and identification and/or creation of code standards and setting requirements.
