FAST TRACK project deploying fuel cell-electric hybrid heavy-duty trucks in California

The FAST TRACK heavy-duty alternative transportation truck project is deploying plug-in hybrid fuel cell electric Class 8 trucks in Southern California to help to reduce air pollution.

With funding from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), GTI Energy and technology partner TransPower are deploying trucks in a phased rollout. The five trucks are being operated at the Port of Los Angeles by Total Transportation Services Inc (TTSI). The project will provide extensive performance data and operational experience, which could help pave the way for the use of hydrogen in other transportation applications.

The FAST TRACK project is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of Cap-and-Trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.
