High.VloCity Final Conference, 27 th of november, Groningen

Join for free at the Final Conference of the High V.LO-City project, in Groningen, Netherlands, on the 27^th of November from 10:00 to 17:30. This event will be a chance for participants to hear the results and lessons learned directly from the project partners. Participants will also have opportunities to network and engage in discussions throughout the day and during the networking cocktail.

Background Information

The High V.LO-City project, coordinated by the bus manufacturer Van Hool, started in 2012 and will run until the end of December 2019. During the course of the project, 14 buses have been operated in 4 locations: Aberdeen, Scotland (4 buses), Antwerp, Belgium (5 buses), San Remo, Italy (3 buses) and Groningen, Netherlands (2 buses). The 14 fuel cell hydrogen buses have been used as like-to-like replacement of conventional diesel buses and trolley buses. The key project objectives were to increase the energy efficiency of the buses and reduce the cost of ownership, as well as to demonstrate an operational availability of the buses equivalent to diesel (over 90%). Another objective of the project was to contribute to the commercialisation of fuel cell electric buses in Europe.

Since the start of the project, more than 900.000km have already been travelled by the buses, saving more than 907t of CO2. The daily operation is proving that fuel cell electric buses can be put in operation with the same level of efficiency and flexibility as diesel buses. Different methods of hydrogen production are tested and the overall availability of the buses is expected to continue to increase as experience is accumulated by the project partners.

The final conference will discuss the results and lessons learned from the projects, as well as provide an outlook to future developments in the fuel cell buses sector in Europe.

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.
