This demonstration project is funded by an $88,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation.  The project will demonstrate the benefits of Hydrogen Fuel Injection (HFI) technology in a transit environment.  HFI has been widely deployed in the over-the-road trucking industry, where it has been proven to improve fuel economy, reduce tailpipe emissions, and prolong engine life.  This project will be the first transit application of HFI technology in the United States.  Four HFI retrofit kits will be installed on City of Fairfax CUE buses, and run for a nine-month demonstration period.  At the conclusion of the demonstration, an HFI-equipped bus will be tested for tailpipe emissions and compared with a standard bus.  In addition, the fuel economy and maintenance requirements of the HFI buses will be monitored during the demonstration.
