Clean Energy to build second hydrogen station for Foothill Transit’s bus fleet

Clean Energy (CLNE) has been awarded the contract to design, build and maintain a second hydrogen fueling station for Foothill Transit, continuing an over 20-year partnership to support the agency’s fleet of low-emissions buses. The new station will be located at Foothill Transit’s Arcadia bus yard which also serves as a fueling depot for its renewable natural gas bus fleet. An initial order of 19 new hydrogen fuel cell buses will be delivered to operate out of the site. This $11.3M design-build project will be partially funded using federal and state grant assistance. Foothill Transit carries over 11 million customers a year across San Gabriel Valley, Pomona Valley, and downtown Los Angeles, with 33 zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell buses currently operating out of its Pomona station – the first hydrogen station Foothill commissioned Clean Energy to construct in 2021. The new Arcadia station is currently in the design stage with construction scheduled to begin in mid-2026.
