The public transport company in Hong Kong, Citybus said on Sunday that the first hydrogen-powered double-decker bus in the city will start the service next month as the vehicle has just started a test run.
“From Sunday, the hydrogen bus will begin non-passenger road testing,” said Kenny So, the public transport firm’s general manager for engineering.
“We will deploy it to our Kai Tak operating area, where our hydrogen bus will be providing services to customers in the initial stage".
“We look forward to creating the opportunity for the public to experience this brand-new hydrogen vehicle within a month, marking a major milestone in the new chapter of the hydrogen era in Hong Kong.”
The City bus said that the hydrogen-powered vehicle engines generate zero roadside emissions and had passed through a full 200km (124-mile) test at the company’s West Kowloon depot and completed multiple refuelling operations at the city’s first hydrogen refill station.
The company also added that it has organised a training programme for engineers and bus drivers to ensure the safe operation of both the vehicle and refuelling station and the first batch has already finished the course.
