Within the 3Emotion project, RET expands his bus fleet in Rotterdam with two fuel cell buses. These buses are ordered at Van Hool. In the summer of 2017 the buses will drive in the schedule of RET.
Press release RET:
Van Hool, an independent designer of buses, coaches and industrial vehicles, has entered into a contract with Transport for London (TfL) in the UK for the construction of two latest generation hydrogen buses. This new contract falls within the scope of 3Emotion. The hydrogen bus, which converts hydrogen into electricity, is currently one of the most environmentally friendly public transport vehicles: it offers local zero emissions (absolutely no harmful emissions or CO2) and significantly reduced noise levels.

As the COP21 starts, CHIC (Clean Hydrogen in European Cities), a flagship zero emission bus project saves over four million litres of fuel and demonstrates that the fuel cell bus technology is ready to underpin the decarbonisation of our urban centres.
On November 11th and 12th Regione Lazio attended the second meeting of the working groups of the new national Hydrogen Platform in Trento. Representatives of the industry, of research centres and of institutions discussed together about the integration of hydrogen and fuel cell applications in the field of transport at national level.
On the 22-23th of October, the 3Emotion partners met in London for their second consortium meeting.
Besides discussing the current state of the different work packages and the actions to be done in the near future, they visited the work place for hydrogen buses of London Bus Services.
In Rome a conference about the role of hydrogen in favour of the transition to zeroemission transport will take place October 9th, during Supercar RomaAutoShow, the exhibition about mobility that will last two days.
On this occasion Regione Lazio will present 3EMOTION.
