Aberdeen's Hydrogen Buses: Future Ditched
27 Feb
Summary
- Aberdeen's pioneering hydrogen double-decker bus fleet is being retired.
- The project aimed to make Aberdeen a global hub for hydrogen transport.
- The council opted for electric vehicles over hydrogen due to evolving strategy.
Aberdeen's pioneering multi-million pound venture into hydrogen double-decker buses has been discontinued. The initiative, intended to position the city as a worldwide center for clean hydrogen transportation, has reached its end. The zero-emission vehicles are now being phased out by the council.
This significant shift occurred following a meeting of Aberdeen's urgent business committee on Thursday evening. The council has decided to replace the hydrogen fleet with electric vehicles, marking a change in its public transportation strategy. The ambition to create 700 jobs associated with the hydrogen project has also been abandoned.
