A proposed bid for extra funding was discussed and agreed at last week’s combined authority meeting that could see the hydrogen bus fleet increased to 40 vehicles – enough to fully service the route.
The roll out of new zero-emission hydrogen buses is a key part of Metro Mayor Steve Rotheram’s plans to deliver an integrated London-style transport system.
Funding towards the additional hydrogen buses would come via a bid to the Government’s Zero Emission Bus Regional Area scheme (ZEBRA). If successful, the funding would cover up to 75% of the cost difference between the highly efficient hydrogen vehicles and a standard bus - link - more like this - link
