Caltrans invites interested providers of medium- and heavy-duty zero-emission vehicle charging and hydrogen fueling services to submit project concepts for consideration for nomination to the California Transportation Commission’s Trade Corridor Enhancement Program (TCEP).

Projects must meet the following criteria:
• Medium- and heavy-duty ZEV charging or hydrogen fueling services.
• Solution is aligned with California’s goals for equitably advancing ZEVs.
• Provider would otherwise be unable to apply for TCEP without the support and nomination of a public agency.

Submissions are due by July 10 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 21 AT 10:00AM. PACIFIC. In January 2023, the U.S. government announced nearly $1.7bn in funding to support the decarbonization of transit bus fleets – aiming to modernize buses, improve bus facilities and support workforce development, training, and upskilling.

To provide foundational information, Ballard is hosting a series of 3 educational webinars, starting off with the all-you-need-to-know fundamentals in the first webinar on February 21st, 2023.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 - THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10 Global Mass Transit is organizing its second conference on “Clean Buses in the US”, on November 9-10, 2022 at InterContinental San Francisco. As of December 2021, over 3,500 ZEBs have been funded, ordered, delivered or deployed in the US. California is leading the deployment of ZEBs in the country and accounts for a 39 per cent share of the current ZEB fleet. This is driven primarily by its policies and programs that target a 100 per cent ZEB fleet by 2040. Other leading states include Washington, New York and Florida.

Transit agencies have mostly focused on the deployment of battery electric buses, with 95 percent of the current ZEB fleet comprising electric buses. Only a 5 percent share is occupied by fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs). This is due to factors such as the lower cost of procurement of electric buses and charging infrastructure. However, in the coming decade, the demand for hydrogen buses is expected to increase, owing mainly to factors such as faster refueling time and better mileage.
