Fuel Cell Bus London Wasserstoff Citaro

Der Wasserstoff Citaro in London. Es wurden 3 Busse auf der Linie RV1 eingesetzt. Das Projekt in London lief über drei Jahre und endete Anfang 2007. Die hier gezeigten Aufnahmen lassen sich also nicht mehr machen. Nähere Infromationen (auf Englisch) findet ihr hier: www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/proje...
This is a film about the fuel cell bus in London. The bus did run on the line RV1. London has three of these buses. For further infromations please use this link: www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/proje...

Thanks for posting a super souvenir. I never rode this bus unfortunatly,but I saw them in the depot, which is now vanished because it was inside the 2012 Olympic site. If the hydrogen is produced by renewable sources, then it is a very green bus indeed.
Gruss aus London!

I can only agree. I am travelling to Hamburg twice a month. They have 9 of these busses. Once a year I stay in London. Not only to travel on these busses because the Tube is very interesting, too.

[@BlakeM309]

For London's first ever hydrogen buses, they're amazing! Sound nice too.

[@HVRZ1E]

Yes, the bus has a normal automatic transmission. The transmission is standard one which is used in the standard Citaro. The bus is a Citaro with two a fuel cells on the roof. Only the electric engine was added. The reason for this is that they want to make it easier to see if it is a mistake for the new technology or form the standard technology.

wow i like green buses you can see the vapor coming from the pipe if you look at the glass shop at the back

[@theoneagain]

fuel cell bus in london wow never new that had them over there fucking hell im gonna go to london and go on one amazing

[@FBZugBus]

a few Citys in Europe have had Fuel Cell Buses, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Madrid, Porto, London
now only Hamburg in Germany drives these High-Technology Busses.
they have buyed all the Buses from Stuttgart, Amsterdam and Madrid
so 9 of the no emission Buses are driving through HAmburgs City all the days

V good! I've seen these buses, but not had occasion to travel on them. They seemed very quiet to me apart from their other merits. Jim

Super!!!

[@HVRZ1E]

Hi,
No, Hamburg has only the busses form Stuttgart and Amsterdam. The other three are original busses from the Hochbahn Hamburg.

[@jack253]

The RV1 now has new hybrid buses on since February 2011... WSH batch that First London has bought, although Dennis Dart Caetano's, Dennis Dart Marshalls, Dennis Dart Envrio 200, still appear on the route. Quite frankly a Plaxton President Trident (Double Decker) has appeared on the RV1 sometime around last year, as I was told.

[@wangtong04]

thats what you need in london!
a fuel cell bus I wonder if you can get fuel cell cars???

[@HVRZ1E]

Hi,
ja die Hochbahn Hamburg hat die 3 Busse aus Stuttgart und 3 aus Amsterdam übernommen und somit 9 Fuel cell Citaro.
Ja es ist die Zukunft. Aber wirklich noch ferne Zukunft!!! Das Problem ist nicht die Leistung der Fahrzeuge, sonder der Preis. Ein Brennstoffzellenbus kostet immerhin 1,5 Millionen Euro! Ein normaler Bus etwa 270.000 Euro.

[@theoneagain]

we need fuel cell technologie to take over its the futur i mean so grean and so powerful as a future fuel source that would be great however fuel cell technology is very expensive it needs to be made cheaper for mainstream use. I think they are working on it.

[@Acelamod123]

you can get hybrid ones which have petrol and electric engines but after watching top gear they actually use more fuel than the average car.

[@TheEastEndBusRider]

Rare footage!

[@HVRZ1E]

Hi ks4291,
this bus has a 268 HP electric engine, and two fuel cells with 335 HP.

[@HVRZ1E]

The 2526 is a Van Hool A 330, and no Mercedes Benz Citaro.
Bei dem 2526 handelt es sich aber um einen Van Hool A 330. Hat also noch immer nicht mehr mit diesem Bus zu tun.

[@HVRZ1E]

Hi,
No the bus is much more expensive. It costs round about 1,200,000 $.

[@Airmilez]

Nice video, I heard these buses were quite expensive; a good one setting you back around £300,000!
What's the name of the background song?

[@theoneagain]

they should have everybus in a london a citaro h2 bus

[@TriGlav2001]

The cost of this fuel cell bus is £750.000 or 1.000.000€.

[@jaggass]

would they be economical?

[@Aladefana48]

Wie heißt das Lied im Hintergrund?

[@FBZugBus]

mehrere Städte in Europa hatten Brennstoffzellenbusse
Hamburg, Stuttgart, Amsterdam, Madrid, Porto und London
heute hat Hamburg nur noch diese Wasserstoffantriebs Citaro
durch den Kauf der anderen Fahrzeuge fährt man täglich mit 9 Abgaslosen Brennstoffbussen durch Hamburg City
das ist doch Zukunft oder?
mit Erdgas Bussen kommt man da auch nicht mehr ran
Brennstofftechnik sollte bei Linienbussen Einzug halten
da diese ohnehin nicht hohe Geschwindigkeiten fahren

[@Airmilez]

Ouch!

[@ks4291]

How many housepower of this bus?

[@HVRZ1E]

The 2526 is no fuel cell bus. It is a normal bus with a diesel engine.
Der 2526 ist kein Wasserstoffbus, sondern ein ganz normaler Dieselbus. Hat also nichts mit dem Bus den man hier sieht zu tun!

bbbbooooorrrriiinnnnggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
