Indian Oil rolls out hydrogen-powered shuttle bus services in Delhi
The hydrogen-powered buses were formally flagged off today by Mr. Arvind Kumar, Director (Refineries), IndianOil and Dr. Amit Kumar Jain, Director (Operations), DMRC, marking a significant step towards adoption of sustainable and zero-emission public transportation solutions in the national capital.
Under this pioneering initiative, IndianOil has deployed two state-of-the-art hydrogen-fuelled buses to provide seamless and environment-friendly last-mile connectivity between Central Secretariat and Seva Teerth Metro stations and key government establishments in the Central Vista region.
The buses, each with a seating capacity of 35 passengers, are equipped with modern passenger safety and monitoring systems including GPS-based tracking and CCTV surveillance. The shuttle service will operate on all working days during peak office hours, encouraging greater use of public transport while helping reduce vehicular emissions and dependence on conventional fossil fuels. In comparison to conventional fuels, Hydrogen is more environment-friendly, as the only emission is water.
