Hydrogen-Fueled Shuttle Bus Project

This project enables the DaVinci Center and project partners to conduct a research and demonstration project on hydrogen-fueled shuttle buses. The purpose of the Hydrogen-Fueled Shuttle Bus project is to educate the public through demonstration of hydrogen's use as a safe, clean, and effective transportation fuel. This will be accomplished through the operation of two hydrogen-fueled internal combustion engine (ICE) shuttle buses and an interactive exhibit program at the DaVinci Science Center. The program will highlight the content and background of transitioning to a hydrogen economy and the explanation of the technologies involved.
