The Rutgers Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) has received $13 million to test trucks that use hydrogen fuel cells as part of a state-funded project to develop cleaner technology for New Jersey’s critical infrastructure and operations.
The trucks will operate at Port Newark, the principal container ship facility for goods entering and leaving the Northeastern United States run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The research, which aims to position New Jersey as a hub for advanced transportation technologies, is being conducted as part of a pilot funded by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA).
Rutgers will manage the project and lead the research, testing the efficiency of the new technology and how it can be used to boost the state’s economy. Rutgers CAIT will work with experts from the university’s School of Engineering and the Office for Research to identify and document opportunities to build on the successes and lessons learned from this pilot.
