Last generation fuel cell bus

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses are zero-emission, have equal passenger loads and action ranges, have long driving range, are flexible in their route and use filling stations. That makes them comparable to conventional buses in their use. Moreover, they offer equal comfort to the passengers: equal space, wide doors, panoramic side windows, electric heating and air conditioning). Additionally they are silent and have a smooth ride.

Fuel Cell

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that generates electricity from hydrogen. This electricity is the main source for the electric motors of the Fuel Cell bus.

Hydrogen

Hydrogen gas is very light and very volatile. It’s colourless, odourless, tasteless and non-toxic. It can be generated out of a wide range of resources. It can be generated out of a wide range of resources. When produced with renewable energy sources like wind or solar energy, its application is emission-free from well to wheel.
