MUNICIPALITIES
Clean Air Starts Locally.
Zero-emission power solutions that help towns and cities meet both air quality and decarbonization goals — one zip code at a time.
Communities are facing rising energy costs, power grid instability, and climate pressures. Municipal leaders need reliable, clean alternatives to keep critical services running.
Amid shifting energy policies in countries around the world, cities and towns are leading the way in building cleaner, more sustainable communities by replacing gas and diesel-powered fleets with both fuel cell and battery electric light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

Hydrogen Is Portable Electricity.
Hydrogen delivers more energy than batteries and performs better in cold, hot, and rugged conditions. It powers essential operations with zero emissions — just water vapor. Hydrogen is made from a wide range of sources and can be deployed anywhere.
- Lighter than battery alternatives
- Works in extreme weather
- No charging delays or heavy infrastructure
- Clean, quiet, and efficient
Power for Every Municipal Need.
Cities and towns can leverage various available incentives to transition to clean energy across essential services with Nuvera Fuel Cells. Our zero-emission power solutions for a variety of heavy-duty municipal applications—refuse trucks for waste collection, transit and shuttle buses for public transportation, ferries and other marine vessels, construction equipment and public works projects, and more— are essential for maintaining public services and reducing urban pollution. These solutions are paving the way for additional municipal applications as hydrogen adoption expands.
HydroCharge™
On-Demand, Off-the-Grid.
Nuvera HydroCharge™ is a versatile mobile AC genset and EV fast-charger that provides power where it’s needed – with water vapor as the only emission. This innovative solution supports the transition to cleaner energy by offering off-grid power and mobile EV charging for events, emergency response, or for an interim period while permanent charging infrastructure is being deployed. Municipalities seeking clean, accessible power can deploy the HydroCharge™ unit to support their power needs with a highly flexible, high-performance piece of equipment that requires less maintenance than diesel engine alternatives.
When energy demand goes up and the grid goes down, Nuvera HydroCharge is there when you need it.
