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).
