This model year (MY96), heavy-duty engine manufacturers are offering a number of natural gas models with additional models nearing production. Electric vehicle manufacturers have several products available with new models nearing completion. Although Caterpillar is the only manufacturer offering propane as a fuel option, Detroit Diesel Corp. (DDC) will be demonstrating a prototype model in 1996, and Cummins will release a model within MY96. Many manufacturers are offering natural gas engines in response to California Air Resource Board’s strict bus emission standards which are effective MY96. -

Top Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Stories of 2018
Top Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Stories of 2018 California In 2018, California witnessed several achievements and milestones. Please note that a few of these are featured elsewhere in our list under Hydrogen Infrastructure. Starting off the year, then Governor Jerry Brown called for a goal of 5,000,000 zero-emission vehicles by 2030 in California, setting a number of ambitious goals for the Golden State. His executive order also called for 200 hydrogen stations by 2025. The California Fuel Cell Partnership released “The California Fuel Cell Revolution,” that calls for, among other things, 1,000 hydrogen stations serving upwards of 1,000,000 fuel cell electric vehicles by 2030. The document also explores the synergies between light-duty and heavy-duty fueling infrastructure, the opportunities for renewable hydrogen and the role of hydrogen in the increasingly renewable electrical grid. The California Air Resources Board approved a Low Carbon Fuel Standard infrastructure credit for hydrogen fueling and charging infrastructure that is set to be implemented in 2019. It is expected, among other policy measures, to spur infrastructure investment and greater capacity. California exceeded 5,000 fuel cell electric vehicles-mostly passenger cars-on its roads, more than Japan or Germany which had more hydrogen stations. Hydrogen stations opened in Palo Alto, LAX area, Citrus Heights, Emeryville, Newport Beach, Ontario, Thousand Oaks and Mountain View. Hydrogen station capacity increased in 2018, and more stations with greater capacity will be opening in 2019 and beyond. California continues to lead in North America in the bus category. The California Air Resources Board approved an Innovative Clean Transit regulation, putting transit agencies on the pathway to zero-emissions, fuel cell and battery electric. -

(WMATA), Cleveland, Sacramento • Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) – Nearly pure methane (~98%) liquefied at very low temperatures – Liquid transfer to vehicle – Largest users are Phoenix, Orange County (CA), Dallas, and Tempe – Newer users include Santa Monica, Long Beach • LNG to CNG (“LCNG”) – Vaporized LNG (also nearly pure methane) – Liquid to gas conversion, then pressure transfer to vehicle – Sun Metro, OmniTrans, others use this approach Document Code 1 Methane Content in Pipeline Natural Gas Varies Regionally Methane Molecule Typical Composition of Pipeline Natural Gas What are the Implications of the Resulting CNG Fuel Quality Variations? • CNG with lower methane content (higher levels of ethane, propane, or butane) has resulted in some adverse affects on heavy-duty NG engine performance (e.g., misfire, stumble and underrated operation, engine knock, overheating) • However, today’s lean-burn closed-loop NG engines for transit (e.g., C Gas Plus and DDC S50G) are better able to tolerate and compensate for variations • Compromises in emissions performance have been found to be modest Document Code 2 Numerous OEMs Offer Natural Gas Transit Buses and Paratransit Vehicles Natural Gas Bus Manufacturer Models Available Champion Bus, Inc. -
