In three days, it will drive six hundred kilometres through the streets of Most in a test run. It will be deployed on a demanding route with several elevation changes, it has only water vapour coming out of its exhaust, and it is powered by an unconventional fuel - hydrogen! This is the unique CaetanoBus, designed in cooperation with Toyota and expected to provide Most with accurate data on whether hydrogen is a promising future fuel for public transport vehicles.

A CaetanoBus hydrogen fuel cell bus started its 7-day tour of Slovenia on 17 November in Tolmin with an environmental consultation on the possibilities of using hydrogen technologies for bus transport, organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Northern Primorska region and attended by representatives of municipalities, universities, hydrogen associations and hydrogen professionals from several EU countries.

Public transport operator MPK Poznań has purchased 25 Solaris hydrogen fuel cell buses. Poznań already has 58 Solaris electric buses, representing almost 20% of its fleet. The new Urbino 12 hydrogen buses will join Poznań's zero-emission fleet in the second half of 2023.

The buses will be refuelled with hydrogen at a hydrogen refuelling station located at a petrol station on Warszawska Street in Poznań.

The first hydrogen bus made in Italy is being built and designed in Umbria. It will be put on the market by vehicle manufacturer Rampini, which announced on 26 August that its latest bus would be unveiled in a couple of weeks.
