A hydrogen fuel-cell bus will soon join the New South Wales Central Coast bus network as part of a state government backed trial.
The locally assembled hydrogen bus will be incorporated into the public transport network operated by Red Bus, with local suppliers joining the trial to evaluate the zero-emissions technology in anticipation of a much broader roll-out.
New South Wales energy minister Matt Kean says the trial will be a first step towards establishing a renewable hydrogen transport industry in the state.
“Unlocking hydrogen use in the heavy transport sector is key to creating new industries and achieving the economic prosperity that comes with it,” Kean said in a statement.
“A green hydrogen industry will encourage NSW investment in clean technology, grow our economy, boost our exports and support regional jobs.”
The hydrogen bus trial is a collaboration…
