Bus manufacturer Build Your Dreams (5445 BYD) and designer of powertrain components US Hybrid will develop a hydrogen fuel cell battery-electric bus to operate at Hawaii’s Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. The project is part of state’s Clean Energy Initiative to decrease dependency on imported oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally, the scheme is intended to help Hawaii reach its ambition of using 100% renewable energy by 2045.

Transportation company Robert’s Hawaii will serve as the bus operator and will take passengers between the airport’s terminal and car rental facility.

The bus is manufactured in Lancaster, California and the fuel cell are made in South Windsor, Connecticut.

    A new report prepared for the Low Carbon Vehicle Partnership (LowCVP) by Ricardo indicates that a wide range of innovative technologies can cut carbon emissions from buses and provide a short-term payback at current fuel prices and subsidy levels. The aim of the LowCVP study was to identify a range of low carbon fuels and technologies which can cost-effectively reduce well-to-wheel CO2 emissions for urban buses in the UK. The report developed technology roadmaps to illustrate when these technologies are lik
