PRESS RELEASE - Brussels, 25 th January 2018
The fuel cell bus sector in Europe has this week received a tremendous boost with the launch of the JIVE 2 project (Second Joint Initiative for hydrogen Vehicles across Europe).
Route ONE, a buses and coaches magasine, has recently published an article on fuel cell buses entitled 'Today's niche, tomorrow's mainstream'.
The magasine's team visited the WrightBus factory and had the chance to discover WrightBus' new double decker fuel cell bus.
The full article is available here.
A White Paper on the commercialisation of fuel cell buses in Europe has been published in October 2017.
It is now widely acknowledged that the future of public transport buses will have to be zeroemission. Fuel cell electric buses (FCEB’s - also called hydrogen buses) are one of the technologies that meet that requirement.
Friday, June 30, the first fuel cell electric buses of the 3Emotion project, funded by the FCHJU, are being launched at public transport operator RET in Rotterdam.
With the Paris climate agreement in force, the EU is more than ever committed to a global transition towards a low carbon economy. Local and regional leaders have a key role in cutting carbon emissions by upgrading our transport systems making them cleaner, more energy efficient and more sustainable.
Low-emission mobility brings significant benefits to our citizens whilst strengthening innovation and competitiveness of our industry. We therefore all need to support zero-emission transportation as the most effective and efficient form of public mobility in our regions and cities.
This report summarises the efforts in setting up a joint procurement strategy for the purchase of fuel cell electric buses in clusters in Europe (Benelux, France, Germany, Northern Europe and UK).
Building on the findings of the 2015 FCH JU commercialisation study and working with the clusters, the report also outlines the efforts undertaken to build up the demand.
