Fuel Cell Vehicle Advantages
The Massachusetts Hydrogen Coalition and Nuvera Fuel Cells participate in the
H2USA National FCEV Program
Mission: To promote the commercial introduction and widespread adoption of FCEVs
across America through creation of a public-private partnership to overcome the hurdle of
establishing hydrogen infrastructure.
Current partners include (additional in process):
California Awards 28 H2 Stations May 1, 2014

Fleets
Automakers
Station Funding Program
1.
Size the fleet to match the output of a 50 kg/day H2 station (18-50 cars).
2.
Establish a Hydrogen Purchase Agreement (HPA) between the fleet owner and the station operator.
3.
Station operator, using the HPA as collateral, uses 3rd party funding for his CAPEX in the same way
the solar industry used PPA’s.
H2 Site Generation Industry Response – station makers each confirmed the HPA process allows them
to fund stations - Nuvera Fuel Cells, Giner, Angstrom Advanced (Verde) and Nanoptek.
Timing - Gain 3 to 5 Fleet Commitments by end of 2014 – Expect Delivery by End of 2015.
Transition from fleet to retail by end of 2015 - Reduce % HPA reliance at H2 stations to free capacity
for retail use in phases – 30% reduction then 50% reduction to 75% to zero.
Fuel Cell Bus
• Date in service - January 2012
Sunline Transit
• Bus chassis/model.- ElDorado National 40’ Axess
• Ballard Power System – FC velocity HD6, 150kW
• Hybrid-drive – BAE Systems Series HybriDrive® propulsion system
• H2 storage – Gaseous hydrogen: 50 kg at 5,000 psig
• Battery pack – 200 kW, 11.2 kWhr nanophosphate Li-ion, regenerative braking
• Fuel economy – 8 miles/kg average at SunLine - Range – 300 to 350 miles
Additional Programs To Improve H2 Station Utilization
•
Bus, Commuter. One bus equals one 50 kg H2 station. Consortium
- Logan International Airport (operated by Massport), the operator of
Framingham Logan Express, and an FCEV integrator.
•
Ground Support Equipment (FC Powered). To compliment demand
for hydrogen negotiate with Logan and Airlines to convert baggage
tugs to FCEV.
•
Medium Duty Delivery Fleet FC Range Extender Hybrid. A major
retailer has agreed to explore conditional order for 20 units subject to
performance of one.
•
Bus, Mass Transit. MTBA Nuvera FC bus scheduled for delivery at
the end of 2014. That experience will be used to expand FC
Massachusetts FC Transit Bus use in the state starting in 2015.
•
Bus, Regional Transit. A Regional Transit Authority is moving to
CNG over the next several months. They have expressed interest in
FC Battery Electric Hybrids and are interested in creating a shared
fueling station that supports a retail FCEV program.
