Your next ride to Disney may be on a hydrogen-fueled bus

The future has arrived in Florida and now visitors will be traveling in the latest technologically advanced Ford E-450 busses that will be shuttling passengers around Orlando International Airport and the Convention Center district.

The new Ford E-450 is a hydrogen-powered clean burning engine and liberates owners from the dependency of Fossil fuels. Orlando is just thrilled to have this technology in place and is the first to deployed a 30 bus fleet in history.

With these revolutionary advances, Florida can now face the challenges to energy and other fuel related issues that plague the state. Florida is determined not only to be a leader in the nation but also economically minded while protecting the environment.

One of the down-sides to hydrogen fuels is the lack of hydrogen stations around the country. Experts believe that the United States will not truly be able to support this technology on a large scale for at least another 15 years.
