Make/Model: FCHV-adv
Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Co

The word

The agreement comes as SunHydro's solar-powered hydrogen fueling station in Wallingford, Connecticut (at the Proton Energy Systems HQ) goes live. The East Coast Hydrogen Highway is planned to stretch from Maine to Florida with the Wallingford facility being the first of a network of privately funded hydrogen fueling stations.

The 10 FCHV-adv vehicles to go to Connecticut are part of Toyota's nationwide fuel cell demonstration program which will place more than 100 fuel cell vehicles nationally over the next three years.

And so ...

The SunHydro vehicles in this agreement will be used by SunHydro, Proton Energy Systems, and community members.
