Sixty vehicles will operate on the ‘South Dade TransitWay’ bus rapid transit corridor, a 20-mile route connecting municipalities between Dadeland South Metrorail Station and Florida City.

The biomethane bus trial in Londrina is the third demonstration by Compagas and Scania in 2023; the first being in the Metropolitan Region of Curitiba, and then in the capital city of Curitiba.

First Bus will convert the York depot by installing new electric charging infrastructure provided by Heliox.

June saw Hyundai sign a memorandum of understanding with the South Korean Ministry of Environment, the Seoul Metropolitan Government and others to convert more than 1,300 public transportation vehicles to hydrogen fuel cell power by 2026.

The company will provide European customers with its electric bus charging solutions. Dietrich Müller, previously Head of E-Systems at Daimler Buses has been appointed Managing Director of Daimler Buses Solutions.

Shuel Bhamla says: ".... And by 2024, we aim to deploy 10,000 charging stations across India."

The European programme has partly been funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership (EUR 30 million for 150 hydrogen fuel cell trucks) and the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) for the 8 hydrogen refuelling stations across France and the Netherlands.

Having access to megawatt chargers would mean that drivers would be able to recharge their trucks to near-full energy capacity during their statutory 45-minute breaks, Scania stated.

Using the application, customers should be able to locate charging points which are suitable for commercial vehicles and then, once they have finished charging, pay for it through a RFID (radio-frequency identification) card.

‘ROC-1’ is robotic charger which wirelessly communicates with the vehicle to insert the cable into the charging port and to remove the cable when charging is done.

Quantum Fuel Systems’ tanks are made from “Type 4” composite materials with a polymer lining, storing hydrogen at a pressure of 70 MPa, or 700 bar.

The truck on show - based on the Freightliner Cascadia - had an 80-kg hydrogen storage capacity, but with 100 kg Quantron claims the vehicle range could reach between 750 and 850 miles.
