Clean Energy has been awarded a contract to design and construct a new hydrogen fueling station for Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) in California. The project, which includes the supply of hydrogen and maintenance services, is aimed at supporting RTA's transition to zero-emissions vehicles. RTA plans to start with five fuel cell buses when the station opens, with a future goal of expanding to a fleet of over 100 hydrogen-powered buses in the next decade. The agency's decision to choose hydrogen as an alternative fuel is driven by the need to power its long passenger routes efficiently. Additionally, RTA recently received a $5.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to purchase five 40-foot hydrogen fuel cell electric buses, marking the beginning of their shift towards zero-emissions transportation. This initiative aligns with RTA's plan to gradually replace its current bus fleet with environmentally friendly vehicles starting in 2026. Clean Energy's involvement in this project signifies their growing presence in the hydrogen fueling infrastructure sector, following the successful completion of a similar project for Foothill Transit Agency in Pomona, Calif., earlier this year.
