March 2010
Victoria, BC
On March 11, 2010, the Southern Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Coalition, an initiative from CTE, sponsored a media event in Victoria, British Columbia, to showcase the capabilities of the Hydrogen Hybrid Bus (HHB) and the potential for clean transportation solutions.
The HHB, built by Proterra, Inc., with funding from the U.S. Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) as part of the National Fuel Cell Bus Program, represents state-of-the-art alternatively fueled
transit technology. A 35-foot, composite-bodied transit bus powered by lithium
titanate batteries and two 16-kilowatt Hydrogenics hydrogen fuel cells, the HHB produces
clean electric power – with water vapor as its only emission – in a lighter, quieter, and more
aerodynamic design that is better suited for today’s transportation demands.
This innovative hybrid electric fuel cell bus recently trekked from its current home in Columbia,
SC to make its debut in Canada with a month-long demonstration in Victoria, BC, where it received significant positive exposure by operating throughout the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.
