Within the transportation sector, medium and heavy-duty vehicles account for one of the fastest growing sources of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. Medium-duty and heavy-duty fuel cell electric trucks have the potential to significantly reduce the negative impacts associated with freight transport.

On Monday, October 10th, ITM Power will be running a Hydrogen Rally involving 12 fuel cell electric vehicles. One route will depart from the company's Wind Hydrogen station in Rotherham and the route will cover 185 miles to the company's Solar Hydrogen fuel station in East London. This will mark the first drive from hydrogen stations using only renewable energy to generate hydrogen on-site.

In March 2017, Dr. Timothy Lipman, Co-Director of the UC Berkeley Transportation Sustainability Research Center, is teaching a new online training course intended to introduce practitioners to the fundamentals of lower-carbon vehicle and fuel/energy systems--low-carbon solutions for a growing world. Dr. Lipman also serves as Director of the Northern California Center for Alternative Transportation Fuels and Advanced Vehicle Technologies (NorthCAT).

Join Executive Director Bill Elrick at the League of Cities and Young Professionals networking event on Tuesday, October 11, 2016 from 5:30pm–7:00pm at Café Bernardo in Sacramento, CA.
