| 摘要： | This report provides preliminary results from an evaluation of prototype fuel cell transit buses operating at Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) in San Jose, California. San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) in San Carlos, California, is a partner with VTA in this fuel cell bus demonstration. VTA has been operating three fuel cell transit buses in extra revenue service since February 28, 2005. This report provides descriptions of the equipment used (buses and infrastructure), early experience and lessons learned, and preliminary evaluation results from the operation of the buses and supporting hydrogen fuel station from March 2005 through October 2005 (eight months). This evaluation of prototype fuel cell transit buses at VTA is a part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program, which integrates activities in hydrogen production, storage, and delivery with transportation and stationary fuel cell applications. VTA and SamTrans began planning their zero-emission bus (ZEB) demonstration in 2000. VTA is the lead agency in the operation of these buses; SamTrans shares in the demonstration's planning and operation and the capital and operating costs. The goals of this demonstration project are to: determine the status of fuel cell technology in transit applications; identify issues and challenges to overcome; and provide community outreach and educate the public on fuel cell and hydrogen technology. The fuel cell buses at VTA are considered prototype technology, and the analysis in this report reflects the prototype status of these vehicles. There is no intent to consider the implementation of these fuel cell buses as commercial (or full revenue transit service). The evaluation focuses on documenting progress and opportunities for improvement of the vehicles, infrastructure, and procedures. |
