Show Me the Road to Hydrogen

摘要

The Missouri University Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), through a hydrogen internal combustion engine vehicle evaluation participation agreement with the Ford Motor Company, operated a shuttle bus service and a hydrogen refueling station in rural Missouri. Initiated by a request from the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center at FLW, Missouri S&T initiated a broad research, training, and education agenda for the rural hydrogen transportation test bed is to develop, demonstrate, evaluate, and promote safe hydrogen-based technologies in a real-world environment. With additional funds provided by the Defense Logistics Agency through the Air Force Research Laboratory, this hydrogen initiative built and operated a hydrogen fueling facility that includes on-site generation of hydrogen. The NUTC matching funds were used to offset the cost of two hydrogen-fueled Ford E-450 shuttle buses.
