Zero-emission mobility within municipal frameworks is now a necessity rather than an option. This is seen globally by the increasing number of public transport systems that are introducing battery electric buses (BEB) and hydrogen fuel cell electric buses (FCEB) as zero-emission alternatives into their fleets.
As zero-emission bus fleets transition from the initial pilot fleets to large-scale deployment, many local authorities and operators are finding they cannot meet their mandates with BEBs alone. For many routes, only FCEBs have the performance advantage to replace traditional diesel models due to their fast fueling and longer range, meaning the switch over to zero-emission can be made without compromising routes, schedules, or existing depot operations.
A clear way forward is being forged and many are coming on board -…
