RTA to test hydrogen bus in Dubai

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Gulf News reported that the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai has signed an agreement with a company to trial an environmentally-friendly hydrogen bus in Dubai’s climate and operational conditions.

Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, CEO of RTA’s Public Transport Agency, said: “These buses represent a sustainable future for transportation in terms of technology and environmental impact, as they rely on hydrogen as a fuel source for long-distance travel. Hydrogen is known for its unique properties – it is lightweight and has three times the energy density of diesel fuel while producing no harmful environmental emissions.”

The trial will involve testing the challenges and opportunities related to the production and supply of hydrogen fuel in the emirate in coordination and cooperation with all partners, mainly the hydrogen supplier ENOC, according to the report.
