SunHydro has entered into an agreement with Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) to place 10 Toyota Advanced Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicles (FCHV-adv) in the Connecticut area this fall.

The vehicles will support the new SunHydro solar-powered hydrogen fueling station, located at Proton Energy Systems' headquarters in Wallingford, Connecticut.

Proton Energy Systems is a provider of on-site hydrogen generation, and its equipment will be used at the SunHydro station.

SunHydro president Michael Grey said that the company is looking forward to helping to lead the charge for solar-powered hydrogen fuel by building infrastructure that makes this alternative fuel more accessible to the general consumer.

The FCHV-adv vehicles in Connecticut are part of a Toyota nationwide fuel cell demonstration program that will place more than 100 vehicles over the next three years.

The ten fuel cell vehicles will be kept in Connecticut and will be used by SunHydro/Proton Energy Systems staff, in addition to other community members.
