A new EU project has enabled the extension of fuel cell bus trials in seven European cities
Bonn,Germany -fona/Forschung für Nachhaltigkeit -8 Mar 2006: -- The HyFLEET:CUTE project is a demonstration project, funded under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6), which will seek to promote the development of hydrogen technology... Part of the project involves the extension of the CUTE and ECTOS fuel cell bus trials in Amsterdam, Barcelona, Hamburg, London, Luxembourg, Madrid and Reykjavik... By the end of 2005, the 36 buses had covered almost 1.1 million kilometres, and had been on the road for more than 75,000 hours... The current generation of fuel cell stacks has been in operation for more than 2,000 hours without any loss of performance - much longer than the engineers had expected...
