AC Transit Marks Earth Day with New Zero Emission Fleet

AC Transit has been a leader in advancing zero emission technology for more than 20 years. This April we mark the next phase of our transition to a 100% zero emission fleet with the delivery and launch of more than 40 new zero emission buses.
In our continued commitment to fighting climate change, we have invested in the cleanest bus fleet-21 GILLIG Battery Electric 40-foot buses and 20 New Flyer Xcelsior CHARGE H2™ hydrogen fuel cell 40-foot buses-with an all-new look. The 41 new buses join our current fleet of 26 zero emission buses, with many more on the way.
The new buses feature a refreshed look. Battery electric buses can be identified with vibrant violet decals, while hydrogen fuel cell buses feature a distinctive gold stripe. The new buses were purchased with generous grants provided by state, regional, and federal agencies.
By adding a new fleet of 100% clean air vehicles, we are bringing quieter, healthier, and cleaner transit to our communities. Learn more about how AC Transit is transitioning to a 100% zero emission fleet by 2040 at www.actransit.org/zeb.

Great news, but only if the hydrogen is produced from solar and wind power. Otherwise it will come from dirty coal or natural gas and undermine the environmental aspirations. The all electric bus is great and hopefully it will replace all their dirty gas buses as soon as possible.
