Humboldt County Introduces New Hydrogen Buses to its Fleet

Navigating the extensive distances between rural communities along California’s North Coast via mass transit poses a significant challenge. Typical battery-powered electric buses fall short, unable to complete round trips due to their limited range. However, hydrogen buses stand out as a viable solution, capable of enduring these lengthy journeys. The Humboldt Transit Authority is leveraging a grant of $38.7 million to procure 11 state-of-the-art hydrogen buses and construct a hydrogen fueling station, marking a significant leap towards sustainable transit in Humboldt County.
