When 28 Hydrogen Buses Have To Carry A €7.6 Million Refueling Station
- •A new €7.6 million hydrogen refueling station has been commissioned in Saarbrücken to support 28 hydrogen fuel-cell buses, highlighting the significant capital expenditure required for dedicated hydrogen infrastructure.
- •The project marks the transition from hydrogen vehicle procurement to the complex operational phase, encompassing logistics, safety systems, trained staff, and storage for a dedicated refueling system.
- •The high infrastructure cost relative to the number of vehicles (approximately €270,000 per bus for refueling infrastructure alone) underscores the substantial financial and logistical hurdles for scaling hydrogen transportation fleets.
