The arrival of the three new Hydrogen Fuel Cell Buses is the culmination of an exciting zero-emissions bus pilot project powered by “Green” renewably produced Hydrogen.
The buses, emit only water and will be 100% powered by green renewable wind energy, responding to the global climate emergency by reducing air pollution and protecting public health.
Translink together with the Energia Group formed a consortium which successfully bid for part funding from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) with the remainder of the funding from the Department for Infrastructure.
The overall capital investment represents around £4 million.
Infrastructure Minister Nichola Mallon says, “I am delighted to see these new buses enter service.
