During the 2023 European Hydrogen Week (20^th – 24^th November 2023), JIVE/JIVE 2 took the opportunity to showcase significant milestones achieved and presented the results from the project at the EU Projects Pavilion on Tuesday 21^st of November. An important part of the presentation focused on the results and impacts from the hydrogen bus roadshow initiatives organized by the JIVE 2 projects. In 2023, the JIVE 2 project organized two hydrogen bus roadshows through Central and Eastern Europe. A 1^st one, from mid-November 2022 to mid-January 2023, toured five countries and nine cities, including Slovenia, Croatia, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary and a 2^nd one, from end of August to beginning of October 2023, toured four countries and eight cities, including Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The bus performed well consistently throughout the two hydrogen bus roadshows and operators were satisfied with the results of the test trials. The roadshows serve as an example of the viability of hydrogen in public transport, and the accumulated data strongly supports this assertion. A report on the impact and lessons learnt from the 1^st JIVE 2 hydrogen bus roadshow is available here. The report for the 2^nd JIVE 2 hydrogen bus roadshow will be made available soon!
