The station includes an advanced "power analyzing system" designed to gather detailed systemwide energy-impact data on the entire hydrogen production process, and a fleet of up to nine, zero-emission Hyundai-Kia hydrogen fuel cell cars powered by UTC Power fuel cells that will be evaluated as part of the station's operational demonstration.

TOURS & VISUALS

Visitors can drive a hydrogen fuel cell car, see demonstrations and tour the fueling station, including a detailed explanation of the hydrogen production process and state-of-the-art safety systems.
