City bus with triple hybrid electric drive and hydrogen fuel cells + hydrogen fueling station in Neratovice
- Awarded the Gold Medal at the International Engineering Fair in Brno
- The bus has been successfully operated on the Neratovice city line for 5 years
- Continuation of the project is planned with an emphasis on sustainable local hydrogen production in relation to renewable energy sources. This means strengthening the overall non-emissive aspect of bus traffic.
Parameters:
- 12-metre two-axle bus
- Electric motor 120kW
- Fuel cell 48kW
- AccumulatorsLi-ion 28kWh
- Max speed 65km/h (reduced)
- Distance up to 300km
- Max peak performance 200kW
Benefits:
- High efficiency of operation
- The vehicle fuel cell is used as an energy source for an electric motor that can handle energy much better than an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell drive is significantly more energy efficient than a diesel engine or compressed natural gas
- Ecology
- In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, fuel-cell drives or fuel-cell power units save heat generators from other harmful emissions that arise regardless of the type of propulsion. These include, in particular, solid particles or nitrogen oxides which arise, for example, in the burning of “green” fuel, such as natural gas.
