Hydrogen-fuelled bus the latest attempt to improve public transport emissions

The bus will be driven to simulate real driving conditions while examining emissions and energy efficiencies.

The next experiment in Ireland's push for low-emissions public transport will take place this week with a double-decker bus fuelled by hydrogen undergoing testing to see how effective it is as an energy saver.

As part of the Department of Transport’s Low Emission Bus Trial, and following on from a single-deck bus trial late last year, the double-decker will be used on the Dublin 9 route on Wednesday and Thursday.
