Arizona's First Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Tours State

ECOtality Inc. of Scottsdale, Arizona, has brought the first hydrogen fuel cell bus to Arizona. The ECObus (pictured on page 1) is the result of a partnership with Arizona Public Service (APS) company and began its tour at the Clean Cities Coalition event on February 27. During its statewide tour, the public is invited to step onto the zero-emission mobile learning center and experience hydrogen fuel cell technology.

As the state’s first hydrogen-powered bus, the ECObus serves as a mobile classroom for hydrogen fuel cell technology. Complete with an audio visual system and interactive workstations, the ECObus is equipped to educate the community – from school children to civic decision makers – about hydrogen’s potential as an alternative to carbon fuel-burning vehicles. Compressed hydrogen fuel stored at APS Hydrogen Park will power the bus throughout the tour.
