Built to showcase fuel cell stacks built with existing technology, these hydrogen bus test mules sure proved … something! Right?
A lot of work over the years has gone into researching, developing, trialing, promoting, and scaling efficient transit systems such as shared mobility platforms. The explosion of online shopping has also led to growth of the on-demand delivery economy. These aggregation platforms are a great enabler for electric vehicles whose business case on a total cost of ownership basis really stands out for high utilization vehicles.
Climate actions have often fallen into one of two strategies: mitigation efforts to lower or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, and adaptation efforts to adjust systems and societies to withstand the impacts of climate change. The separation has led to the misinformed view that addressing climate change means pursuing either mitigation or adaptation.

In a talk yesterday in Oslo, Norway, Elon spoke with the Prime Minister of Norway and touched on Tesla’s plans for what comes after Model 3, mass transit … [continued]
Here at CleanTechnica, we frequently cover electric buses, as they often displace diesel and hybrid diesel buses that are typically major generators of particulate matter (PM) emissions in cities. Lots of pollution where we have the most people is not ideal, so this conversion process is extremely important. The electrification of mass transit is … [continued]
Long range batteries and fast charging are great for the wide open spaces, but space, location, and convenience will drive urban mobility solutions.
Originally published on Climate Progress by Aviva Shen Americans living in urban areas are driving less than they were ten years ago, according to a new report by U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG). At the same time, public transit and bicycle use is becoming more common. American city populations … [continued]

It is the second-most-used action on Amtrak’s website after buying tickets. Generally, I am willing … [continued]
“How many more reports do we need to tell us that we must make investing in America’s infrastructure a priority,” said President and CEO of the American Public Transport Association (APTA), Michael Melaniphy in response to the 2013 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure released by the American Society of Civil Engineers … [continued]
