MBTA El Dorado Axess (Hydrogen Fuel Cell Test Bus)

Deployed as a tester in 2016, this hydrogen fuel cell powered machine was the first of its kind to see MBTA use. Though seen here at Malden Station, it operated on a number of test routes until the end of February 2018, when it was returned to the Federal Transit Administration (who paid for it) and Nuvera (who fueled it).

Posted on: 2008-02-15
Description
Eldorado national - california (enc) is recalling 106 my 2004-2007 axess, e-z rider ii and transmark re rear engine buses built with cummins isl and isc diesel engines and equipped with the cm850 fuel system.  The engine high pressure fuel lines from the engine high pressure pump to the engine fuel rail are prone to failure.  The fuel line failures have been determined to be caused by prolonged vibration.  Failure typically occurs at or under the fuel line fitting attachments.  Failure of the fuel line introduces high pressure atomized diesel fuel into the engine compartment.
