Fuel cell bus trial
London Buses have successfully trialled 3 hydrogen fuel cell buses on central London's route RV1.
Three Daimler Chrysler hydrogen fuel cell buses were operated by FirstGroup on route RV1 as part of a European trial in 9 cities of this technology. They operated over 3,400 hours and travelled 23,000 miles, with excellent reliability, according to TfL.
The trial has been extended to January 2007 on route RV1, to test further the higher-than-expected levels of mechanical reliability.
