Billerica, Massachusetts – October 8, 2020 – Today, Nuvera Fuel Cells, LLC, a provider of fuel cell power solutions for motive applications, joins the nation in celebrating the sixth annual National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day. In commemoration of the employees, suppliers, and customers driving the hydrogen revolution, National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day recognizes the growth of the industry and raises awareness of the role these technologies play in building a sustainable, clean energy future.  

National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day is observed on October 8 (10.08) in recognition of the atomic weight of hydrogen: 1.008. Efficient, clean, and quiet, fuel cells generate electricity through a chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen, without combustion.

Nuvera is primarily focused on fuel cell-powered transportation and remains committed to helping OEMs create high-performance, zero-emission vehicles. Nuvera celebrates innovations and progress toward a carbon-neutral future. In the past year, Nuvera has:

• Launched its E-45 Fuel Cell Engine
• Redoubled its efforts to bring clean energy to ports
• Participated in key industry events including f-cell + HFC Vancouver and China International New Energy Vehicle Forum

“National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day was once celebrated with incremental advances and small wins for fuel cell power. No longer. Fuel cells, especially to solve significant transportation clean energy challenges, are on the radar of every major vehicle OEM and integrator in the world,” said Lucien Robroek, CEO at Nuvera. “Nuvera’s more than two decades of innovation puts us at the vanguard of helping the transportation industry meet and exceed emissions regulations and mandates. We celebrate with our colleagues today, those at Nuvera and all others working to move toward a cleaner, greener future through embracing hydrogen power solutions.”

PRESS RELEASE: Billerica, Mass. — Nuvera helped celebrate Boston’s first zero-emissions fuel cell bus and hydrogen refueling station at a recent press event attended by Massachusetts and MBTA officials. The bus and station are deployed at the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) through the National Fuel Cell Bus Program (NFCBP), which is sponsored by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The NFCBP is helping bring fuel cell and hydrogen technology into everyday use and expand clean transportation in our nation. 

Hydrogen-powered fuel cells enable zero-emissions buses to run by converting hydrogen fuel into electricity and water with no exhaust pollutants. The result is an electric vehicle that is quickly refueled instead of being recharged. Fuel cells increase fuel economy, reduce use of petroleum, and advance U.S. energy independence since hydrogen is produced domestically.
