What is the source of energy to produce the hydrogen? The carbon footprint of hydrogen is pretty bad unless you have abundent renewable energy.
If it's in Poland, it's most likely coal unfortunately
Well Germany has to sell their shitty lignite coal to somebody..... It's not like their environmental laws will allow them to burn it in Germany. But Poland is fine.....no one cares about the polish greenhouse gasses. That's Poland's problem....right?
or from plastic burning. Poland is where most EU "recycled plastics" end up being incinerated.
Edinburgh rolled them out somewhere in 2017 i think? Most of the buses are still diesel powered
jelly... nothing like biking on the wall lane next to the the highway and getting smogged by a gas bus' top exhaust right in your face, right after overexerting to get up there in the first place
So has mine! Although the buses in my city are hybrid, not fully electric.
Nice, i really love electric bus, it doesn't stink and it's quiet. My city rolled out some half decade ago, but it doesn't last as the company that made it(Chinese) doesn't support it anymore. Then we got another batch like last year i think. Hopefully this one last.
Bravo but can we not put big-ass stickers on the windows please
They always put a promo sticker when introducing new buses into the fleet.
