Hydrogen vehicles

Fuel cell bus Water! That is all a hydrogen fuel cell bus releases into the air. Clean, green and coming to a bus stop near you, they are the ultimate in environmentally friendly buses.

Ten new buses powered by hydrogen fuel will be launched in London between now and 2010, in a bid to reduce CO₂ emissions from transport and tackle climate change.

Hydrogen powered vehicles offer a significant step towards achieving this goal and shows that we are leading the way in hydrogen transport technology.

From January 2004-2007, London took part in a project to reduce air pollution and noise by testing the first generation of zero-emission fuel cell buses.

Due to the success of this trial, we are now delivering a programme to introduce 10 hydrogen powered buses and an associated refuelling station to London by 2010 .

All 10 buses will run on the RV1 route. Five will be hydrogen fuel cell buses and five will use hydrogen internal combustion engines.
