A hybrid fuel cell/battery bus, TBB-3, was subjected to emissions testing with the Fuel Cell System (FCS) under steady state resistive load and transient bus operation. Reformer emissions of NOx were two orders of magnitude lower than those for conventional and alternative fuel ICE buses, while PM emissions were barely measurable. TBB-3 HC emissions were lower than all but the latest technology diesel buses while CO levels were within the range of emissions from conventional transit buses previously tested. Overall, the results suggest that this first-generation liquid-fueled fuel cell powered bus demonstrate significant improvements in PM, NOx and CO2 emissions over ICE buses.
