I found the workshop extremely valuable, especially the deep dive into hydrogen fuel cell electric bus technology, high voltage and hydrogen fuel safety. The sessions provided clear, practical insights into system performance, refueling considerations and operational requirements for deploying hydrogen buses in real-world transit environments. I appreciated the balanced perspective on both the opportunities and challenges. Overall, it was an informative and learning experience that supported our transit agency’s decarbonization planning efforts.
