About :
A fuel cell bus uses a hydrogen fuel cell as its power source for electrically – driven wheels, sometimes augmented in a hybrid fashion with batteries or a super capacitor. The only emission from the bus is water. Several cities around the world have trialled and tested fuel cell buses, with over 5,600 buses in use worldwide, the majority of which are operated in China.
