San Jose Mercury News - VTA finds hydrogen buses cost much more to run than diesel vehicles
Steve Maloon, Transit Mechanic, drives a hydrogen powered VTA bus from the fueling station at the Cerone Operating Division facility in San Jose today. The hydrogen fuel cell rides on top of the bus. VTA's Zero Emission Bus program (ZEB) has not been as successful as originally planned after three years of operation. The hydrogen fuel cell powered buses are expensive to buy and maintain. As a result, they cost more to keep on the road than the normal diesel buses used by the VTA. (Gary Reyes / Mercury News) |
