Nikkiso Clean Energy & Industrial Gases (CE&IG) Group and SunLine Transit Agency recently celebrated the opening of a new liquid-hydrogen-based fueling station in Thousand Palms, California. The hydrogen station can fuel SunLine Transit’s current fleet of 32 hydrogen fuel cell buses — that number will grow as more of SunLines’s fleet transitions to zero emissions.
Nikkiso’s market-leading hydrogen fueling stations provide 24/7 hydrogen fueling capability to help keep SunLine’s buses in the Coachella Valley region on schedule. The facility’s high-performance, dual-hose dispensers meet H35 and H70 fueling protocols, and can fuel a bus in less than 10 minutes. The station is also capable of unlimited back-to-back fueling.
SunLine Transit plans to open a third dual-hose dispensing unit for public use in the next few weeks — making clean hydrogen fuel accessible to private and commercial vehicles in the region and driving further adoption of low-carbon technologies. The station’s strategic position between Los Angeles and Phoenix lends itself to long-distance routes, allowing cars and long-haul trucks and buses traveling through the region to expand their current range.
