Hydrogen Day at the Science Center
Saturday, August 23, 2008, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

The Hydrogen Road Tour demonstrates progress and commitment toward commercially viable, emissions-free hydrogen vehicles which will ultimately help promote America’s energy independence, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve air quality while preserving safety and U.S. jobs.

Hydrogen powered passenger vehicles and transit busses from several manufacturers will travel across the country starting in Portland, Main, on August 11, 2008 and finishing in Los Angeles, California, on August 23, 2008 at the California Science Center. The Tour will visit 31 cities in 18 states and the District of Columbia in 13 days. At each stop, the Tour will provide media, invited VIPs and the public with a hands-on experience with the vehicles. Most stops will also highlight hydrogen-related programs already happening in the region.

Hydrogen Day will provide the general public an opportunity to engage in learning about hydrogen-based transportation technology. Several hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen combusting vehicles including two hydrogen-powered buses will be on display and participating organizations will provide interactive demonstrations about hydrogen as an alternative to conventional fuels. Visitors will be able to:

1. Test drive (or ride in) fuel cell vehicles
2. View demonstrations of fuel cells, hydrogen production and fueling
3. Learn about how government and industry are working together to bring this technology to California roads
4. Explore the Transportation Gallery at the Science Center and find about what it takes to turn fuel into motion
