At the UITP exhibition in Helsinki the Belgian Bus and Car manufacturer Van Hool and its partners UTC Power, Siemens and Air Liquide presented the hybrid fuel cell bus for Europe. It is used on test since summer 2007 on a 25 km regional bus line between Antwerp and Lier operated by the Flemish transport company De Lijn in Belgium, the first company to use this bus on its network.
With the introduction of the hybrid fuel cell bus, VAN HOOL and its partners are taking an important step towards establishing environmentally friendly public transport. The purpose is to contribute to the reduction in the emission of harmful exhaust fumes, in particular fine particles and CO2.
This modern, environmentally friendly city bus combines the result of Van Hool’s 60 years as a bus and coach manufacturer with UTC’s know-how as a fuel cell specialist and Siemens’ electrical drive technology. Importantly, Air Liquide is supplying the hydrogen. This fuel cell bus is soon to be trialled for the first time for ten months by Flemish transport company De Lijn in Belgium.
