Visitors had the opportunity to visit the fuel cell hydrogen buses participating in the Clean Hydrogen In European Cities (CHIC) project at the stand of PostAuto. PostAuto who has been operating the 5 hydrogen buses since 2011 in and around Brugg (Switzerland) within the framework of the CHIC project.

A CHIC student day was arranged inviting Swiss students to learn more on the technology and the infrastructure developed within the project.  A group of 12 students accompanied by their professor from the Swiss school for Electrical Energy Systems “HES-SO HEIG-VD”  attended the exhibition and discussed with PostAuto’s Nikoletta Seraidou on the technical infrastructure and bus performance. Through animated presentations and videos, students showed a genuine interest on the buses performing in the other CHIC cities. HyER supported this dissemination activity and informed participants on the framework of the European programme.

Furthermore, visitors also had the opportunity to drive on a CHIC fuel cell bus.

Watch here the video on the fuel cell bus produced by UITP (watch at 4:48′).

More information on the bus is available here.

The project is co-funded by the EU’s Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU).

The lists have been updated on 14 June 2013.

This video features 5 hydrogen fuel cell buses have been operating in Oslo since last May, within the framework of the Clean Hydrogen In European Cities (CHIC) project. The project is co-funded by the EU’s Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU). The buses in Oslo have been supplied by European  manufacturer Van Hool.

This video was produced by the European Commission and presented during the SET Plan Conference on 8 May 2013.
