California has placed a substantial order of 108 hydrogen-powered buses with New Flyer of America for San Mateo County Transit (SamTrans). The order, driven by California's incentives, includes the Xcelsior CHARGE FC™ 40-foot transit buses, focusing on zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell-electric technology. SamTrans, operating 74 bus routes across San Mateo County, including San Francisco and Palo Alto, aims to replace its diesel vehicles with these eco-friendly buses. The funding for this investment comes from the Federal Transit Administration, California's HVIP program, and local funds, facilitating the transition towards a sustainable public transport system. By aligning with the California Air Resources Board's goals, the initiative targets a fully zero-emission bus fleet by 2040, contributing to a 50-52% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. This strategic move not only supports environmental conservation but also demonstrates a progressive approach towards greener transit solutions in the United States.
