| Description | The immediate objective of this proposal is to foster the development, manufacture and large-scale commercialization of hydrogen-fuel cell buses (HFCBs) in Mexico through the initial operation of a fleet of 10 fuel cell buses in Mexico City during a 5-year period. This project represents the first part of a two-Part project designed to test –under conditions of commercial operation– a zero emissions technological option for public transport in a dynamic metropolitan area situated at 2,200 meters above sea level. A total of 3,000,000 km of accumulated use will be gained by the end of the 5-year demonstration period. |
| Implementation Status | The main reason for cancellation of this project, executed by STE (Electric Transport Service of Mexico City), were substantial changes in conditions originally foreseen for the project, in particular technical, financial and institutional aspects of the project. |
