RIVERSIDE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
REV Group (NYSE: REVG) a manufacturer of industry-leading specialty
vehicle brands, has announced that its ElDorado National (ENC) Brand of
transit bus is the first bus manufacturer to complete the rigorous 12
year / 500,000 mile life cycle Altoona testing of a hydrogen fuel cell
transit bus. The Federal Transportation Authority’s mandated testing
ensures the availability of safe vehicles for transit. ENC’s Axess FC
low-floor transit bus successfully completed durability, fuel economy
and performance testing on their high-quality, 100% 304 grade
stainless-steel constructed vehicle. With these positive results, fuel
cell technology will now be a viable and production-ready technology for
transit operators looking for zero-emission travel. With the ability to
refuel within 20 minutes and a proven transit duty cycle range of over
200 miles, the Axess FC is the only zero emission transit bus that can
seamlessly integrate into existing transit fleets.
The Axess FC bus uses proven BAE System’s Series Hybrid technology,
currently available on more than 8,000 buses worldwide. Combining
battery-electric with hydrogen fuel makes this one of the most
environmentally friendly vehicles--where the only emissions coming from
the tail pipe is water.
