Programme Highlight
In Hong Kong, franchised buses face a lot of challenges like sub-tropical
climate, hilly terrain, long service hours and high frequency of service. While
battery electric buses may tackle these problems like what diesel buses are
doing, there are some new issues like insufficient mileage to support one day's
service, long battery charging time, reduced carrying capacity and limited
battery life. On the other hand, hydrogen fuel cell buses theoretically may
overcome all these problems and the technology is still developing. If green
hydrogen is used, it will be absolutely zero emission, not only roadside.
Hydrogen is our future and green hydrogen is our destiny
However, the path ahead is not so straight forward. Would onboard liquid hydrogen be the ultimate solution?
