In November 2024, ARCHES released an RFI: Heavy-Duty Fuel Cell Vehicle Development Strategy to gather feedback on its proposed frameworks for supporting fuel cell truck and bus market development in California. This RFI received responses from fuel cell electric truck and bus manufacturers, truck fleet operators, transit agencies, hydrogen station developers, and individuals and organizations familiar with these businesses or technology transition strategies. ARCHES plans to supply over 250 tons per day of renewable, clean hydrogen to trucks and buses by the end of 2030, helping fleets reach a total cost of ownership that is competitive with legacy combustion technologies while advancing toward clean energy and air pollution reduction goals. This document provides a summary of the key takeaways from the 50 submissions that ARCHES received.
