Hamburg's Hochbahn doubts hydrogen buses after year of testing
Original: Wundert mich nicht. Die Hamburger Hochbahn zweifelt am Einsatz von # Wasserstoffbussen . Fünf getestete Fahrzeuge erfüll
Hamburg's public transport operator Hochbahn is expressing doubts about hydrogen buses after a nearly year-long trial. Of five test vehicles, none have met quality requirements, with technical problems, low availability and the high cost of green hydrogen cited. Commenters say the outcome comes as little surprise, and the case adds fuel to the debate over whether battery-electric buses are the better path for urban transit.
Why now: The failed trial feeds the ongoing debate over hydrogen versus battery-electric technology for public transport.
