Hamburg's Hochbahn doubts hydrogen buses after failed trial
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 year-long trial. Five test vehicles still fail to meet quality requirements, suffering from technical problems, low availability and the high cost of green hydrogen. Commenters say the outcome comes as little surprise, and the case is fuelling the broader debate over whether hydrogen or battery-electric buses are the better path for city transit.
Why now: The disappointing trial results feed into the ongoing debate about hydrogen versus electric buses in public transport.
