Why fuel cell buses?
High daily range:
300 kms without refuelling – possibility of extension
Passengers and drivers comfort
…due to reduced noise levels and smooth driving experience
Operational flexibility
…no need for new street infrastructure, rapid charging (<10 min)
Collaboration
A European network of frontrunners in place looking forward to share their expertise
A concrete answer to ambitious policy targets set for transport
decarbonisation
Zero tailpipe emissions (only water emitted) and CO2 emissions savings –linked to hydrogen production source
Fuel cell electric buses offer many advantages:

83 fuel cell buses in operation or about to start operation

The CHIC demonstration project ended in 2016
Conclusions:
The CHIC project demonstrated that fuel cell buses have the potential to provide the same
operational flexibility as conventional diesel buses.
They can do this with zero tailpipe emissions, a contribution to transport decarbonisation
and whilst satisfying the travelling public and driver.
Next steps:
Bus availability needs to improve over 85% - expected to be resolved by a) resolving the
teething issues in the current trial and b) scale in the supply chain
Bus prices need further reduction to enable genuine market traction (less than €500,000) -
resolved through the FCH JU commercialisation process
Regulations on hydrogen refueling stations construction and safety need to be further
harmonised at EU and international level – key stakeholders are working at European and
international standards to simply procedures and decrease costs

JIVE: Joint Initiative for hydrogen Vehicles across Europe
JIVE will be a six year project, kick-off was in January 2017
Fuel cell buses in cities participating in JIVE
The JIVE project will help commercialise fuel cell buses through a large-scale demonstration across five Member States

JIVE is potentially the first in a series of initiatives that could lead to the deployment of hundreds of FC buses in Europe by 2020
JIVE will seek to deploy 142 hydrogen fuel cell buses and associated refuelling infrastructure across nine cities in five European countries.
This project alone will more than double the size of Europe’s fuel cell bus fleet (from c.80 by the end of 2016 to >220).
Economies of scale are expected to reduce the capital cost of fuel cell buses (to <€650k for a standard bus and <€1m for an articulated bus).
Demand is being aggregated through joint procurement processes already underway, which are encouraging manufacturers to develop and refine their fuel cell bus offers.
A campaign of monitoring and dissemination of the project results will ensure the lessons learned on the readiness of the project reach a target audience of bus operators and policy makers, with a view to expanding who can take action to expand the market for fuel cell buses.
Development of the JIVE project revealed strong demand for fuel cell buses across Europe. In fact, the number of deployment locations in JIVE had to be reduced due to funding limits and the project includes follower cities ready to deploy fuel cell buses should funding become available.
A second call is needed (in 2017) to allow fuel cell buses to be deployed in sufficient volumes to transition to a fully commercial offering from the 2020s (as described in the Fuel Cell Buses for Europe report - Roland Berger for the FCH JU, 2015).

Existing H2 refuelling stations have the capacity to refuel small fleets of buses (max. 15 buses per day) and many are located outside of depots
1) PostBus bus depot in Aargau (Air Liquide)2) IIT Hydrogen Centre in Bolzano (Linde)3) BOC station in Aberdeen (Linde)4) Ruter depot in Oslo (Air Liquide) 5) ATM depot in Milan (Linde)6) De Lijn station in Antwerp (H2 Logic)

The NewBusFuel project (2014-2017) addresses the technical and economic challenges of deploying large-scale H2 refuelling stations in busy bus depots

Results from the NewBusFuel project will be published on 15th March in Aberdeen as part of the Aberdeen Hydrogen Transport Summit 2017
