Fuel-Cell Buses

Fuel-cell buses are a type of public transportation vehicle that use fuel cell technology to convert hydrogen gas into electricity, which powers electric motors. This results in a zero-emission mode of operation, as the only byproduct of the chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in the fuel cell is water vapor. Fuel-cell buses are part of efforts to promote cleaner air and reduce reliance on fossil fuels in urban transit systems. They offer advantages over traditional diesel buses, including quieter operation and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Fuel-cell technology represents a significant advancement in sustainable transportation, contributing to the growing interest in renewable energy sources for public transit.
