Tech Specs The Germany company says its fuel cell vehicles will have a range of at least 500 km and will refuel in 20 minutes.  They also will match long distance bus standards for acceleration and power. At the moment, fully electric buses are not practical for long distanc

This is a first in the United Kingdom.  The zero-emissions, iconic buses were manufactured by Wrightbus of Northern Ireland, which also has hydrogen buses operational in Dublin, Ireland.  Hydrogen for the buses is being produced in Cheshire with big hydrogen production plans in the mix. Going Totally Zero Emissions The city's transportation operator, Transport for London, has a sustainability goal of operating only zero emissions buses by 2030.  London is diversifying its green bus portfolio by adding the hydrogen buses to its electric fleet.  London has 500 electric bus
