Dynetek announces order for London bus hydrogen storage systems
Around 70 hydrogen-powered vehicles are expected to be operating in London by 2010, as part of the London Hydrogen Partnership's Transport Action Plan.
Commenting on the deal, Dynetek's president and chief executive officer Christian Rasche said: "Our vast experience gained through previous hydrogen bus applications and the feedback from transit authorities has allowed Dynetek to continuously improve its storage systems to meet customer needs and support the rapidly developing compressed hydrogen industry."
Five of the buses are expected to be powered by hydrogen hybrid fuel cells, with the other buses powered by hydrogen hybrid internal combustion engines - making London the first city in Europe to operate a fleet of this kind.
London mayor Ken Livingstone first announced plans to introduce hydrogen-powered buses in 2006.
