Solaris, the polish bus manufacturer recently received an order from the Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) for thirty-eight hydrogen-powered buses. These buses have been ordered with the intention to deploy them within the city of Barcelona and have them in operation as soon as possible. The order has been scheduled for 2024 and it will include thirty-six Urbino 12 vehicles, as well as two units of the Urbino 18-metre articulated hydrogen buses. TMB already owns 130 Solaris vehicles and these newest vehicles will be a welcome addition to their fleet. The article below showcases how quickly the use of hydrogen as a fuel source movement is having an impact on multiple businesses and countries. It is quickly becoming a popular and the preferred option to have a fleet of hydrogen-fueled buses, rather than petrol ones.

Rather large tanks? But the objective of expanding hydrogen production in France is great. Translation HyGen Project: Giant step in liquid hydrogen technology May 15, 2024 The Fives-led HyGen project expands the use of liquid hydrogen for low-carbon mobility. The project aims to increase the use of liquid hydrogen tenfold. Hydrogen News - France's leading industrial engineering group Fives, together with two research companies CEA and École des Mines de Saint-Etienne, has launched the HyGen project, which aims to increase the use of liquid hydrogen for low-carbon mobiility. The initiative received €3.4 million in funding from the French Government under the France 2030 program, operated by ADEME, as part of France's strategy to increase decarbonized hydrogen production by 2030. The HyGen project aims to meet the growing demand for hydrogen in the global market for green mobility, with the capacity of liquidation equipment, which it aims to increase nearly ten times. In addition, it aims to increase the reliability of equipment and strengthen France's competitiveness in the hydrogen sector and create a strong sector around liquid hydrogen. The project will contribute to the fives group, which has been operating in the Grand-Est region for more than 120 years, to create 85 new jobs. Fives plans to revive the regional economic ecosystem and collaborate with third-party stakeholders (subcontractors, suppliers) with hydrogen equipment designed at their workshop in Golbey. Objectives of the HyGen project: Remove the technological barriers to increasing the scale of the liquefaction equipment and multiply the available capacities by ~10. Strengthen the reliability of the equipment and secure their use. To contribute to increasing France's competitiveness in hydrogen and creating a strong sector in liquid hydrogen. Meet increased demand for hydrogen in the global market in favor of green mobility.

More zero-emission buses 🌿 will be running in Chełm city in Poland. As many as 26 Nesobus hydrogen 💧 buses with Enika devices will power the fleet of the Chełm transport operator 💪. #hydrogenbus #nesobus #publictransport

I had the privilege of sharing insights into hydrogen and its potential as a key driver for sustainable transport at a recent event in Munich together with Freudenberg e-Power Systems.   🚌 In 2021, we launched a project called "HyFleet", which ultimately has been the kick-off for our ambitious global fleet transformation project.   Fuel cell electric drives hold significant potential for contributing to decarbonizing the transport industry, and our project partner Freudenberg is developing fuel cell technology suitable for long-distance coach travel.   A few takeaways from the project over the last few years: ⚡ Reliability of fuel cells is crucial for success in high-utilization environments. 🔋 Range is king and is even more important due to a lack of refueling infrastructure.   💡 It was a great opportunity to connect with everyone working on this promising technology, and the conference once again highlighted some areas for us to tap into the high potential of hydrogen-fueled mobility.   🤝 It requires even more alignment across the board of stakeholders, including regulators, producers of hydrogen, fuel cell producers, bus manufacturers, infrastructure providers, and operators.   There is no doubt that hydrogen can be a part of the solution for a greener future of travel, and I am excited to continue working on the realization of Flix's fleet transformation towards alternative drives.

HIF Global and Airbus sign a collaboration agreement to develop synthetic fuels for aviation HIF Global and Airbus have signed an agreement in England to develop synthetic aviation fuels, known as e-SAF, made from renewable energy, water, and recycled carbon dioxide. This collaboration, established at the Farnborough International Airshow, aims to reduce net CO2 emissions in aviation. The agreement outlines a framework for technical, project development, commercial, and promotional negotiations. HIF Global is designing e-SAF production plants using methanol-to-jet fuel synthesis and has partnered with Johnson Matthey and Honeywell UOP for preliminary engineering of their first U.S. plant. Clara Bowman, HIF Global COO, emphasized the urgency of this collaboration to meet the projected doubling of aviation activity by 2030 and to transition the industry towards net-zero emissions. https://lnkd.in/d5uUdrUW

[🚌 #Driving_in_the_future] - The first hydrogen bus in Normandy Last April, Région Normandie (the Normandy Regional Council) and Transdev Normandie inaugurated the first bus to be converted to electric fuel and powered by hydrogen. This innovation is a major step forward in the electrification of the public transport sector. The bus is currently being tested on the Evreux-Rouen line. ✔The bus, a Crossway vehicle manufactured by Iveco Bus, will be powered by an EAS-HyMob station. ✔Normandy is a pioneering region in the hydrogen sector. Since 2018, the Region has been following a Hydrogen Plan to extend its use. You can check out one of our previous posts about this sector.👇 https://lnkd.in/enFPqKSa https://lnkd.in/eFS99cyq

It has now been agreed that the company, Solaris Bus & Coach, will supply Île-de-France Mobilités, which is Paris’ fleet operator, with twenty two Urbino hydrogen-powered buses. Since this has been decided, Île-de-France Mobilités has launched a trial which will evaluate the potential of hydrogen technology and whether it would be suitable for the region’s transport system. This movement aligns with the initiatives and investments that have been undertaken since 2018, with the shared aim of renewing the entire bus fleet. The article below highlights, how many industries are looking to become better for the environment and that further to this, they are finding ways to make entire sections more eco-friendly. By switching to the use of hydrogen as a fuel and showing interest in adopting this approach for its whole fleet, the coach company are portraying how environmentally conscious they are.

Hydrogen: The Driving Force of Sustainable Mobility!    In the past few weeks, our Teams had the opportunity to attend two major industry events: IAA Transportation in Hannover and InnoTrans in Berlin. These flagship trade shows were a showcase for advancements and trends in hydrogen technology. Here are the key insights we gathered:   Hydrogen as a pillar of decarbonization: many players highlighted hydrogen propulsion solutions for trucks, buses, and trains, proving that hydrogen is becoming an alternative to fossil fuels for heavy-duty and long-distance transportation. HYVIA presented its hydrogen-powered Renault Master Van H2-TECH, a zero-emission light commercial vehicle equipped with an OPmobility high pressure storage system at 700 bars.    Innovations at every stage of the value chain: whether in production, storage, or distribution, innovations are flourishing. EKPO Fuel Cell Technologies GmbH unveiled the new NM20 stack module. Delivering up to 400 kW, and state-of-the-art durability and power density, it will meet the needs of heavy-duty and commercial vehicles, making zero-emission transport more efficient.   Growing interest in the rail sector: while road transport is often at the forefront, the rail sector is also embracing hydrogen. Hydrogen trains from our main Partners in this sector, Alstom, Stadler, and CRRC Corporation Ltd., are already in service paving the way for the rapid decarbonization of non-electrified lines.   👉 Hydrogen is clearly becoming one of the keys to the energy transition for Commercial transportation, turning now into a reality.   #AlwaysOnTheMove
