<strong>Hydrogen</strong> <strong>Fuel</strong> <strong>Cell</strong> <strong>Bus</strong> <strong>Technology</strong> <strong>State</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Art Review<br />
Berlin (BVG)<br />
Berlin participated both in HyFLEET:CUTE, and is still operating hydrogen-fuelled ICE<br />
buses <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> latter demonstration. BVG is a partner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> "Clean Energy Partnership"<br />
(CEP), active toge<strong>the</strong>r in testing car, bus and fuel station operations in Berlin and<br />
Hamburg area. The city possesses one hydrogen fuelling station still in operation, and<br />
expects three new stations by 2010.<br />
British Columbia (BC Transit)<br />
BC Transit is currently running <strong>the</strong> world largest FCB demonstration in a single transit<br />
region, in occasion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 2010 Winter Games. This four-year (2010-2014), 20-bus<br />
demonstration includes <strong>the</strong> world‟s largest hydrogen fuelling station (HFS).<br />
Cologne - Regionalverkehr Köln (RVK)<br />
The Regionalverkehr Köln hosts <strong>the</strong> HyCologne programme. The programme acts in <strong>the</strong><br />
area <strong>of</strong> Cologne, Düsseldorf, Aaachen and Bonn and aims to deploy a hydrogen bus<br />
fleet as well as industrial-scale hydrogen-powered power plants. RVK will deploy 2 fuel<br />
cell PHILEAS articulated bus by 2011 (in partnership with <strong>the</strong> City <strong>of</strong> Amsterdam), as an<br />
outcome <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> joint venture between North Rhine Westphalia and <strong>the</strong> Dutch<br />
government. The RVK possesses a 100km hydrogen pipeline that could be used for <strong>the</strong><br />
creation <strong>of</strong> local hydrogen distribution network.<br />
Hamburg (Hamburger Hochbahn)<br />
The Hamburger Hochbahn participated both in <strong>the</strong> CUTE project and its extension<br />
Hy:FLEET CUTE, which 6 FCB will be operated till mid 2010. The city possesses one<br />
hydrogen fuelling station with on-site electrolysers-based hydrogen production, powered<br />
by certified green electricity. In autumn 2009 Daimler announced a contract with<br />
Hamburger Hochbahn to deliver 10 new hybrid fuel cell buses in <strong>the</strong> city from 2010.<br />
London (Transport for London)<br />
London participated to <strong>the</strong> CUTE project, its extension Hy:FLEET CUTE and now it is<br />
one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five European cities partner in <strong>the</strong> CHIC project. Under CHIC, Transport for<br />
London (TfL) will be running 8 hybrid fuel cell buses which will be refuelled in a new<br />
refuelling facility.<br />
