to buy hydrogen fuel cell-powered transit bus Sept. 1 -- Hartford, Conn., will be the home to New Englandīs first hydrogen fuel cell-powered transit bus in 2007. UTC Power of South Windsor, Conn., will supply the 40-foot vehicle to the Greater Hartford Transit District and provide two years of support for the vehicle. That will include use of a hydrogen refueling station, the company said. The Federal Transit Administration is providing a $2.9 million grant to the transit district to pay for the bus and the needed infrastructure. "With Connecticut being a center for fuel cell technology development, it is only fitting that Hartford have New Englandīs first fuel cell bus," UTC Power President Jan van Dokkum said.
