NorCAL ZERO: Zero-Emission Regional and Drayage Operations with Fuel Cell Electric Trucks

This report describes the California Energy Commission and California Air Resources Board-funded Zero-Emission Regional and Drayage Operations with Fuel Cell Electric Trucks (NorCAL ZERO) project. The project deployed 30 fuel cell electric drayage trucks in drayage operations out of the Port of Oakland as well as regional operations throughout the Central Valley and San Francisco Bay Area. The project also established supporting infrastructure, including an Oakland heavy-duty hydrogen fueling station providing 700 bar dispensing and a San Leandro maintenance facility designed to service fuel cell electric vehicles. The project additionally funded comprehensive workforce training, data collection, and community outreach within the Port of Oakland trucking community and West Oakland neighborhood.
