Hydrogen Buses

Your Hydrogen Buses Have Arrived!

We are delighted to announce that the World’s First Hydrogen Double Deckers will be pulling into a stop near you!

Our new Zero Emission buses will support our journey to clean air and show our commitment to Aberdeen's path to a cleaner, greener, climate positive city. Each vehicle plays a major role in reducing Aberdeen's carbon footprint by saving 84 tonnes of carbon per year, per bus - which means healthy, happy communities with quiet streets.

You'll spot our newest arrivals throughout Aberdeen, as well as on Service 19 - travelling via Tillydrone, Aberdeen City Centre and Culter.

What is Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe – made up of one proton and one electron.
Hydrogen releases zero emissions, it’s clean, green, and only emits water from the exhaust!
Hydrogen is made from wind and water.

What does this mean for Aberdeen?

	Local energy for local communities – Aberdeen’s plans for making its own hydrogen means that our buses will be locally powered.
	When you travel by bus, you are playing your part in reducing Aberdeen’s carbon footprint.
	What was that noise? Our hydrogen vehicles are silent - reducing the noise pollution in Aberdeen.
	Just one Hydrogen Bus will save 84 tonnes of CO2 per year – the equivalent of removing 38 petrol, or 40 diesel cars from the road.
	Fuel-cell electric buses produce no tailpipe emissions – the only by-products is water.
