Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Technology State of the Art Review
6.1.5 TCO analysis for other hybridisations
The results of the total cost of ownership analysis discussed above proved to be
relatively unaffected by the specific hybridisation design of fuel cell buses.
Clearly, the overall bus capital and ownership cost slightly varies with the hybridisation
designs as they typically requires a different fuel cell rated power, energy storage
capacity and, in some cases, on-board hydrogen storage capacity.
This cost difference, however, is predicted to greatly reduce as the cost of these key
components and the bus itself decreases in time.

Figure 31 Snapshot of the main findings of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis
in comparison with diesel and trolley bus technologies in the 2010 – 2020 time frame.
Figures includes results for both 150kW and 75kW hybridisations. The analysis, which is
based on untaxed hydrogen and untaxed diesel prices, includes the effect of diesel
taxation on the top of the column. Cost figures are expressed at 2010 money value.
