“Over the last two decades, SEPTA has led the transit industry in transitioning to hybrid buses, and that has resulted in a fleet that is cleaner and more efficient to operate,” said SEPTA Board Chairman Pasquale Deon, in a statement. “With this pilot program for fuel cell electric buses, we will similarly be on the cutting edge of zero-emission technology.”
The new vehicles are expected to be put into use in the city by the summer of 2024.
