Gillig and Hexagon Purus Partner on Hydrogen Fuel Storage for Buses
Hexagon Purus Inks Multi-Year Deal with North American Bus Manufacturer
Long-Term Agreement to Deliver Hydrogen Fuel Storage Systems for Fuel Cell Electric Buses
Hexagon Purus has secured a multi-year contract with Gillig, the second largest transit bus manufacturer in North America. The agreement entails the delivery of hydrogen fuel storage systems for fuel cell electric buses in the United States.
The hydrogen fuel storage systems will be integrated into Gillig’s zero-emission buses, supporting the company’s commitment to sustainable transportation. Hydrogen fuel cell technology offers numerous advantages, including extended range, rapid refueling, and zero tailpipe emissions.
Benefits of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Technology
- Increased range compared to battery-electric buses
- Rapid refueling times, similar to conventional diesel buses
- Zero tailpipe emissions, contributing to cleaner air and reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Environmental Impact of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses
Hydrogen fuel cell buses play a crucial role in reducing environmental impact. They emit only water vapor as a byproduct, eliminating harmful pollutants like nitrogen oxides, particulate matter, and carbon monoxide.
By adopting hydrogen fuel cell technology, transportation companies can significantly contribute to improving air quality, especially in urban areas where buses are heavily utilized.
Growing Demand for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses
The demand for hydrogen fuel cell buses is growing rapidly due to their environmental benefits and operational efficiency. Governments and transportation agencies worldwide are implementing policies and incentives to promote the adoption of zero-emission vehicles.
As the infrastructure for hydrogen fueling stations expands, we can expect to see a further increase in the deployment of hydrogen fuel cell buses in the coming years.
