HyBus
Implementation of the first hydrogen buses in Austria
The objective of the “HyBus” project is to accompany the implementation of the first 700 bar hydrogen buses at Wiener Linien (urban operating case), Graz Linien (regional operating case) and additional tests in alpine operating cases with a long-term study in real operation. Among other things, the system and logistics interrelationships for the integration of the individual operating cases into a green regional autonomous hydrogen economy are to be researched.
Development of a
Holistic Mobility Concept
With the real operation of the first 700 bar hydrogen fuel cell buses (Fuel Cell Electric = FC buses) in Austria, the critical points for the procurement, operation and adaptation of the world’s first series bus concept from Korea to the European standard are being researched and defined (see EU-Bus)
In the system and logistics context, the HyBus project will provide key insights for regional resource management, the national production economy and crisis-proof energy and mobility services.
Implementation of
Green Public Transport
The use of FC buses generates a large demand for green hydrogen (4.4 tonnes per bus per year). This can be generated regionally from photovoltaic, wind and hydroelectric power, which varies depending on the day and season, stored and called up by FC buses as required.
Building the
Bridge to a Clean Energy Future
The findings from the implementation of the first FC buses in real operation can be used to create value chains that are important for the regional economy, economically interesting roll-out scenarios with products ‘Made in Austria’ and autonomous and crisis-proof energy and mobility service systems. The “HyWest” hydrogen centre at the Green Energy Center Europe in Innsbruck has been working on this overall context for years.
