4.3 Outlook to 2030<br />

The bottom-up analysis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> hybrid fuel cell bus cost can be extended to 2030 in a<br />

similar fashion to that described above. However, it should be noted that in looking out<br />

to 2030, <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> hybrid drivetrain components becomes much more challenging for<br />

stakeholders to predict. Figure 19, below, summarises <strong>the</strong> key results from this analysis.<br />

The capital cost <strong>of</strong> hydrogen buses is expected to reduce fur<strong>the</strong>r by 2030 as some cost<br />

components such as extra labour and <strong>the</strong> risk premium costs are ultimately envisaged to<br />

disappear.<br />

Hybrid fuel cell buses, however, are not expected to reach today‟s capital cost level <strong>of</strong><br />

diesel buses, as fundamentally <strong>the</strong> hybrid fuel cell architecture requires extra<br />

components on top <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> basic diesel bus architecture. The cost for hybrid fuel cell<br />

buses in 2025-2030 can be also estimated by pricing <strong>the</strong>se extra components according<br />

to 2020-2022‟s figures.<br />

Using <strong>the</strong>se assumptions, fuel cell buses are expected to ultimately cost between<br />

€100,000 and €200,000 more than a basic diesel bus and approx. €50,000 - €100,000<br />

more than <strong>the</strong> cost level expected for diesel hybrid buses by 2030.<br />

Figure 19 Break-down <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> cost <strong>of</strong> a hybridised fuel cell bus according to stakeholders‟<br />

projections for ~ 2030. It is modelled on a hybrid fuel cell bus based on a 12m platform<br />

bus, powered by a 150kW or 75kW fuel cell system. The two hybridisations are<br />

compared to today‟s diesel bus cost level and <strong>the</strong> cost level expected for diesel hybrid<br />

buses by approx. 2015 - 2020. <strong>Bus</strong>es cost is expressed at 2010 money value.<br />
