United Technologies Transportation

• UTCFC is developing zero emission, energy efficient fuel cells for transportation applications with environmental and energy security benefits.  They’ve deployed zero emission fuel cell buses in Washington, DC, California, Madrid and Turin.  In 2004, AC Transit logged over 8,000 miles operating a Thor 30-foot hydrogen fuel cell, hybrid-electric bus developed by ISE Corporation and UTC Fuel Cells.  This bus was deployed in the Oakland, California area and achieved double the fuel economy of a 30-foot diesel bus.  In 2005, UTCFC is delivering power plants for four fuel cell buses that will be operated in California by AC Transit and SunLine Transit.
  
  
• UTCFC is currently working with major automobile manufacturers, including Nissan, Hyundai-KIA and BMW, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on development and demonstration programs for automobiles.  They teamed with Chevron and Hyundai-KIA as part of DOE’s Hydrogen Learning Demonstration Program and will be deploying a fleet of 32 zero-emission Hyundai-KIA Tucson sport utility vehicles and Sportage cars as part of the initiative.
