Agenda Of Canadian CUTA Transit Conference Shows They Have Hydrogen On Brain Too

Globally, there are almost 700,000 battery electric buses in operation and perhaps 6,000 hydrogen buses. In Europe in 2023, about 6,400 new battery electric buses were registered vs. about 140 hydrogen buses. As I noted recently, there have are more hydrogen bus trials that have been abandoned than operational hydrogen … [continued]

Another Day, Another Hydrogen Transportation Failure, This Time Quantron & IKEA

A year ago, while assessing various organizations that had reached the terminus of the Odyssey of the Hydrogen Fleet six act tragicomedy, I pointed out the awful, horrible, very bad, no-good decision the Austrian branch of IKEA had made to buy Quantron hydrogen step van delivery trucks. Since then, I’ve … [continued]

Real World Hydrogen Refueling Stations With Electrolysis Far Less Efficient Than Assumed

Unsurprisingly, when it comes to hydrogen, the more real-world data collection and analysis that is done and published, the worse it looks. The latest black eye for the tiny molecule that so many love is in the efficiency of making hydrogen at refueling stations. The Hydrogen Research and Fueling Facility … [continued]

How Many Hydrogen Transit Trial Failures Are Enough?

In the past few days I’ve been going deep on some very odd results out of a Canadian transit think tank’s research and reports for client municipalities, finding that bad assumptions and worse scenarios resulted in $1.5 billion being taken off of hydrogen bus costs. Discussion around this led to … [continued]
