Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles
DOE’s Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA) has teamed with
Pinnacle West
(holding company of Arizona Public Service)
and Electric Transportation Applications (ETA) to construct and operate a hydrogen and
compressed natural gas (H/CNG) generation and fueling facility in Phoenix, Arizona.
The H/CNG
facility provides pure hydrogen, pure CNG, or
H/CNG blends to the various
internal combustion engine (ICE) test vehicles.
