Activities:
The recipient will implement activities within the scope of EPA's Targeted Airshed Grant Program, including:
1) Demonstration of long-haul zero-emission fuel cell electric trucks
2) Replacement of legacy diesel school buses with zero-emission battery-electric school buses.
These projects will provide valuable insights into long-haul fuel cell electric trucks and battery-electric school buses as strategies for reducing emissions of tropospheric ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) precursor pollutants in communities throughout California's South Coast Air Basin.
Subrecipient:
No subawards are included in this assistance agreement.
Outcomes:
The anticipated deliverables and outcomes of this award include:
1) Demonstration of several long-haul zero-emission fuel cell electric trucks
