Content
Under the President's Hydrogen Fuels Initiative, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) implemented a two-year project to determine the changes needed to accommodate hydrogen as an alternative fuel in commercial vehicles, i.e., trucks and buses.
The changes needed are as follows:
  • Dissemination of general safety guidelines for hydrogen fuel systems in commercial vehicles.
  • Revisions to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
  • Revisions to the North American Standard Inspection Procedures.
  • Revisions to the North American Standard Out-of-Service criteria.
