Bizkaia Bus Fleet

Project description

The project provides for the deployment of a fleet of hydrogen buses operating under the Bizkaibus service management concession, which falls under the responsibility of the Provincial Council of Bizkaia. The objectives of the project are to set up a real demonstration and testing environment to enable the development of hydrogen buses, and to take an important step forward in the decarbonisation of transport in the province of Bizkaia.

This specific project addresses the deployment of a fleet of hydrogen-powered buses, with a daily hydrogen consumption of 190kg.. To this end, 2 hydrogen-powered buses will be used on inter-city routes currently serviced by Bizkaibus.

Unlike their predecessors, the buses to be commissioned are technologically innovative in that they will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells.

Impacto medioambiental

The project will not only contribute to CO2 reduction, but also to the circular economy, as it provides for a series of initiatives to be defined and partners to be selected for the treatment of end-of-life equipment, mainly focused on giving the on-board batteries a second life, as they will be replaced when they reach 80% of their initial storage capacity.
