New Zealand’s first hydrogen bus launched
The country's first hydrogen fuel cell bus has been unveiled by Auckland Transport as it moves towards an emission-free fleet by 2040.
AT chief executive Shane Ellison said the technology will give public transport operators more flexibility and complement existing electric bus services.
Built by Global Bus Ventures in Christchurch, the $1.175m bus will run between Howick and Britomart.
It will be run by transport operator Howick and Eastern for the initial two-year trial on route 70 from Botany to Britomart via Panmure.
The three-axle bus will use a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity along with batteries and the only byproducts produced will be water, electricity and heat.
What do you think of the new bus?

Idiot owner of a black VW Golf
To the owner of the child that drives a black VW golf registration plate either LUY601 or IUY601 PLEASE remind the idiot that the road through fowlds Park is NOT a race track. There are dogs,children and people I was crossing over from the park to the other side and my dog and I were nearly bowled. That thing was not stopping. And it had a passenger. Traveling at least 60km.
