Inouye International Airport, one of the busiest airports in the United States with more than 21 million passengers per year. The new bus is being developed as part of Hawaii\u2019s Clean Energy Initiative<\/strong> (HCEI<\/a>) to meet sustainable energy objectives of decreasing dependency on imported oil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The initiative is a central component of the state\u2019s goal to be powered 100% by renewable energy by 2045<\/strong>. Robert\u2019s Hawaii, the state\u2019s largest employee-owned tour and transportation company, will serve as the bus operator, shuttling passengers between the airport\u2019s terminal and car rental facility.<\/p>\n In February, Sunline Transit Agency in California put into service a El Dorado electric bus with a fuel cell range extender manufactured by US Hybrid, which said that the advanced fuel cell design lowered the overal cost of the bus by 70%. BAE Systems is the overall system integrator and provider of the powertrain and electronics. The bus put into service in February is able to travel for 250-300 miles per day, thanks to the\u00a080-kW fuel cell system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Byd is partnering with the company US Hybrid Corporation to develop a battery electric bus enriched with a fuel cell range extender.
