Fleet managers and the public are invited to a Hydrogen Educational Event set for 2-4 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, at the Occhiato Student Center at Colorado State University Pueblo, 2220 Bonforte Blvd.
Participants will hear more about the Colorado State University/New Day Hydrogen proposed Hydrogen Refueling station planned for the Interstate 25 corridor in Pueblo. It will be among the first three public-facing hydrogen fueling stations in the state.

Local experts in hydrogen, Colorado vehicle grant programs, as well as fleet managers, will talk during the Hydrogen Educational Event.
