DETAILS
Air Liquide announced today
locations of four hydrogen fueling stations
planned for the northeastern region of the United States.
The stations will be open to the public, providing consumers
in the region with the infrastructure required for
zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
The stations are the first of twelve hydrogen stations
planned by Air Liquide in the northeast United States,
in collaboration with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc.
Initially, the network of hydrogen stations
will span approximately 300 miles
across five states and will support
the introduction of hydrogen FCEVs on the East Coast,
including the Toyota Mirai.
The stations are slated to open to the public by early 2017.
Air Liquide has entered long-term lease agreements
for hydrogen stations in the following cities:
- Hartford, Connecticut
- Braintree, Massachusetts
- Mansfield, Massachusetts
- Bronx, New York
The hydrogen supplied by Air Liquide
will be produced off-site
and delivered to the stations.
The stations, designed and constructed by Air Liquide,
will be capable of fueling a hydrogen FCEV
in approximately 5 minutes
and will offer a typical vehicle fueling experience.
Hydrogen FCEVs can have
a range of more than 300 miles (500 km) per fill,
depending on the model.
The stations have the capacity
to support other auto manufacturers
as they begin to bring hydrogen FCEVs into the region.
This initiative is the latest in the company’s
current portfolio of hydrogen fuel cell energy activities
in the U.S. and across North America, which also
include public and private hydrogen stations
in California and a number of fleet fueling projects
for public buses and warehouse vehicles.
