The man behind plans for thousands of UK-built hydrogen buses across the country says Aberdeen could accommodate up to 200 of them as part of the move he hopes can lead the nations’ economic recovery.
JCB heir Jo Bamford claims his plans are “an ideal option for a Government that needs to boost UK manufacturing at this critical time whilst radically reducing our carbon emissions and air pollution”, and has already submitted his vision in a document to ministers.
As well as Aberdeen, plans are being drawn up to introduce a fleet of 3,000 state-of-the-art buses – in which passengers benefit from USB charging points and more spacious seating – in places such as London, Liverpool, Brighton, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Belfast, with interest from relevant authorities.
Mr Bamford, who leads a green hydrogen production company, Ryse, and last year acquired Wrightbus, a UK manufacturer who have made the world’s first hydrogen double decker bus, proclaims that zero carbon, UK-made hydrogen technologies must play a pivotal role in driving the British economy forward - link - more like this (JCB) - link
