Fuel Cell Bus Emission Reductions

Eliminates tailpipe emissions

Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)

Sulphur Dioxides (SOx)

Particulate Matter (PM)

Greenhouse Gas Emission reductions

Calculated on a well to wheel basis

Improved fuel efficiency 1.5-2.5x improvement over

conventional diesel buses on an energy equivalent basis
