Run by First Bus in a project led by Aberdeen City Council, the 15 hydrogen buses are said to represent a major step forward in reducing climate change. The zero-emission fleet emits nothing more than water, as production of hydrogen is powered by electricity generated by wind turbines.While prototype hydrogen buses have been designed and used previously, these 60-seat double-deckers built by Wrightbus are the first of their kind to go into operation.The double-deckers are said to save one kilogramme of CO2 with each kilometre they drive, compared to diesel Euro Ⅳ engine buses that have a fuel economy of 6.82 mpg. The buses will also tackle more than just air pollution, as they are virtually silent when they run. The vehicles will be operated mainly on the Service 19 (Peterculter to Tillydrone) along with other services. |
