Eden Hydrogen Fuels National Hydrogen Road Tour

  
    
  
  
    
      On Saturday, August 23, the 2008 Hydrogen Road Tour arrived at the 
      SunLine Transit Terminal in Thousand Palms, California to fuel a caravan 
      of hydrogen vehicles on the final leg of a cross country journey 
      stretching from Portland, Maine to Los Angeles, California.
    
    
      The event showcased a fleet of hydrogen-powered vehicles, demonstrating 
      the commercial viability of hydrogen-based fuel. As the Road Tour made 
      its way to Los Angeles, SunLine’s Hydrogen 
      Fuel Cell bus was an impressive addition. The bus, one of two in SunLine’s 
      fleet that services the Coachella Valley, showed that hydrogen 
      technology is not a futuristic dream, but a realization now.
    
    
      SunLine is home to Eden Hydrogen’s HyRadix 
      hydrogen reformer, one of the industry’s most 
      advanced, enabling third party refueling of commercial vehicles. The 
      HyRadix reformer supplied fuel to nine of the Road Tour’s 
      gaseous hydrogen vehicles.
    
    
      “The key to accelerating public acceptance of 
      alternative fuel vehicles is to show they are in active use today,” 
      said SunLine General Manager C. Mikel Oglesby. “This 
      is the inspiration behind the Road Tour and why we’re 
      excited to be a part of the event.”
    
    
      Paul Brubaker, with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s 
      Research and Innovative Technology Administration, said during the 
      event, “The technology to put these kinds of 
      vehicles on the road–and keep them moving–exists 
      today. The question is not if hydrogen-powered vehicles will be 
      commercially available, but when.”
    
    
      “As always, our HyRadix reformer performed 
      wonderfully to provide hydrogen to fuel these groundbreaking vehicles,” 
      said Bob Gray, CEO of Eden Hydrogen. “With 
      the U.S. on the road to a hydrogen economy, national events such as the 
      Road Tour expand public awareness of hydrogen’s 
      use as a transportation fuel today.”
