The Ford Motor Company and US Congressman John Dingell and the Wayne County Airport Authority announced in March the delivery of two hydrogen-fuelled Ford E-450 shuttle buses, to be used for transporting airline passengers between terminals at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW).
The delivery is the result of a partnership involving Ford, the Wayne County Airport Authority and the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments (SEMCOG), funded with a Department of Energy grant and a sign of the desire to reduce CO2 emissions.
Ziad Ojakli, Ford Group Vice president, Government and Community Relations, commented, “These buses represent part of Ford Motor Company’s strategy to deliver transportation solutions that emit less CO2 and reduce our dependence on oil.”

The buses also serve as a visible demonstration of Michigan’s commitment to innovation and sustainable mobility.”
