BAE Systems has been awarded a $13 million dollar contract. On Thursday Federal Transit Administration Administrator Peter Rogoff visited the Endicott facility to announced the funding to be used on 8 different projects. BAE is developing mass transit buses that are powered by hydrogen fuel cells, that emit only water vapor for exhaust. By the year 2050, the United States is expected to have 100 million more residents, and Rogoff says we are going to need to move those people around in the cleanest possible way we can if we are going to have breathable air. In the last 6 years, the FTA has allocated $90 million to fuel cell development.
