I saw quite a few hydrogen buses when I was in China. Idk what the Chinese think of their longer term viability, but they're there, and they work, at least in China. Maybe Japan (and the rest of the world) simply lacks the infrastructure needed to support them?
- Symbiote 2y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_emission_buses_in_London https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_emission_buses_in_London London has had small numbers of hydrogen buses since 2004, although it's remained a small number since then. Currently 20 vs over 1400 BEVs.
- ein0p 2y agoI've been to London a couple of times over the past few years, and haven't seen anything "hydrogen" there. Maybe they just aren't marked. In China they're very easy find, and they're rather obviously hydrogen - usually green in color and say "H2" on the side. Cursory search also suggests that it's not just Beijing and Shanghai that have them.
- Symbiote 2y agoAs it's only 20 buses out of over 8000, you're not too likely to spot one on a visit. They are marked, but they're still red buses that don't look much different to the rest. London restricts the way public buses can be painted (mostly red), and even efforts like this don't seem to be exempted. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First_London_fuel_cell_bus_WSH62995_%28LK60_HPN%29_VDL_SB200_Wrightbus_Pulsar,_Catherine_Street,_route_RV1,_20_May_2011.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:First_London_fuel_ce...
