Return-to-Base Mobility

Over 10,000 fuel cell buses have been deployed worldwide (7).

The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA) reported an 82% growth in hydrogen fuel cell bus registrations in Europe in 2024. Battery electric buses have good energy efficiency when measured from grid-to-wheel.  Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Electric Vehicles (HFCEVs) including buses, show better operational performance. For example, greater range, faster refuelling, higher vehicle utilisation and route flexibility – especially in challenging geographies and climates where electric buses struggle. Hydrogen-powered transit vehicles now have millions of miles under their belt.

From green buses to heavy-duty trucks. From quarrying machinery to port and airport handling equipment. Return-to-base hydrogen fleets offer lower carbon, always available, fast refuelling dispensed on site. Even passenger ferries are switching to hydrogen made at the portside. Where larger trucks, buses, cranes and carriers return back to a depot or garage each day and always have to be available when needed, hydrogen is often a preferred solution.
