Beyond Batteries: Breadboard Results for a Fuel Cell–Dominant Bus [Part 2]

Following our March 26 webinar introducing the Fuel Cell Dominant Bus Proof of Concept project, this session will share testing results and key findings from the system validation process. Join the Center for Transportation and the Environment (CTE) and Nimbus Power Systems for a deeper look at the FTA TVIDC Fuel Cell Dominant Bus project.
‍

This webinar will present technical results, including performance, durability, system weight, and cost considerations compared to today’s more battery-dominant fuel cell buses. The project team will discuss how a load-following, fuel cell-dominant architecture using ultracapacitors could simplify propulsion systems, extend both fuel cell life and vehicle range to diesel-equivalent levels, and reduce total cost of ownership — key considerations for agencies planning long-term zero-emission fleet transitions.
‍

Designed for transit professionals, planners, and decision-makers, this session will also highlight next steps for continued system validation and how this technology could support future pilot deployments in 40-foot transit and 45-foot coach bus applications.
