Each vehicle plays a major role in reducing Aberdeen's carbon footprint by saving 84 tonnes of carbon per year, per bus - which means healthy, happy communities with quiet streets.

What is Hydrogen?

- Hydrogen releases zero emissions, it’s clean, green, and only emits water from the exhaust!
- Hydrogen is made from wind and water.
What does this mean for Aberdeen?
 |
Local energy for local communities – Aberdeen’s plans for making its own hydrogen means that our buses will be locally powered. |
|
When you travel by bus, you are playing your part in reducing Aberdeen’s carbon footprint. |
|
What was that noise? Our hydrogen vehicles are silent - reducing the noise pollution in Aberdeen. |
|
Just one Hydrogen Bus will save 84 tonnes of CO2 per year – the equivalent of removing 38 petrol, or 40 diesel cars from the road. |
|
Fuel-cell electric buses produce no tailpipe emissions – the only by-products is water. |
