The Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP) focuses on developing commercially viable fuel cell bus technologies. CALSTART is one of three non-profit consortia chosen to manage projects competitively selected under the NFCBP. SunLine Transit Agency is leading the American Fuel Cell Bus project to develop and demonstrate a next-generation fuel cell electric bus that meets the FTA’s ‘Buy America’ requirements. SunLine and its development partners, BAE Systems, Ballard Power Systems, and ElDorado National-CA, began operating the bus in transit service in January 2012.
