Objective
The project is aimed at completing the demonstration approach of the first European fuel cell bus using liquefied hydrogen in an inner city application. This project has been already evaluated in a former THERMIE evaluation as, excellent. Due to a lack of funding means the Commission was only in a position to finance the first phase of the project. This fuel cell bus project is aimed at demonstrating the innovative fuel cell propulsion system, different energy storage systems and a stationary hydrogen refilling infrastructure, clearly outlining not only the benefits to be obtained from a zero emission fuel, but also the advantages of this low bus design. Fuel cells are at the cutting edge of vehicle design and the project will show how its wider market introduction could have major environmental benefits. Fuel cell technology will show how European dependency on foreign energy sources.
