Electro Energy to Provide Battery for Fuel Cell Bus Project

DANBURY, CT , a leading provider of advanced battery technologies and associated systems, announced today that it has been selected to supply a customized battery pack utilizing its patented Bipolar Wafer Cell Nickel Metal Hydride technology to the Georgetown University Methanol Fuel Cell Transit Bus Integration and Test Project.

EEI will partner with other distinguished team members, such as EV America, to develop the bus design as well as the battery and fuel cell integration and test plan to deliver a methanol fuel cell transit bus. In addition to supplying the customized battery pack utilizing its patented Bipolar Wafer Cell Nickel Metal Hydride technology, Electro Energy will also provide engineering and technical expertise.

Georgetown University, under a Grant from the Federal Transit Administration, is developing the next-generation liquid fueled (methanol) fuel cell power plant to be integrated and tested on a heavy-duty hybrid electric transit bus. The Fuel Cell System (FCS) is envisioned to be sufficient to power a 30-foot hybrid electric transit bus when optimized for operation with an energy storage system on the bus. The fuel cell system will include a fuel cell, fuel processor (methanol), controls, air treatment, cooling system, and water management subsystems.

The objectives of the program are to integrate the fuel cell system into a modern, 30-foot transit bus hybrid platform, and to demonstrate the methanol fuel cell bus in varying venues and environments within several transit agencies.
