Hydrogen-Fueled Buses * UK - London’s new green buses to be shipped thousands of miles for engine installation
London,UK -Coach Broker, by Louise Williams -March 26, 2010: -- Transport For London have come under fire this week after it was revealed that the much celebrated hydrogen-powered buses will be shipped three-quarters of the way around the world to have their engines fitted... The environmentally friendly fleet of London buses, which are part of a £15 million scheme, are being made in Northern Ireland. However they will then be shipped to California where they will have their specialist engines installed... The 5 buses will be ready to join London’s bus network by November this year after their trip back from the U. States... TFL have defended their decision to ship the hydrogen-powered buses saying that in the long term they will reduce their carbon footprint considerably. They say it is necessary to transport the new buses so far as they are high tech vehicles and only a handful of places in the world have the expertise to work on these buses..
