Tasmania maps out hydrogen-powered bus fleet and fuelling

Tasmania has launched its first hydrogen-powered public transport initiative with three fuel cell buses now operating across Hobart’s Metro network, powered by locally produced green hydrogen as part of the state’s push toward net-zero emissions by 2030.

The hydrogen electric buses (HEB), manufactured by Foton with fuel-cell systems developed by SinoHytec and Toyota, form part of Tasmania’s Zero Emission Bus trial – the first public transport initiative in the state powered by locally produced green hydrogen.
