Ricardo provides hydrogen training 06 July 2023
Ricardo has delivered chemical training to enable Brighton & Hove Buses to implement hydrogen technology safely into its fleet.
Ricardo provided training on hydrogen awareness, safety and incident response in relation to hydrogen and fuel cells to operational staff virtually and in person at bus depots across West Sussex.
During 2023, Brighton & Hove Buses and Metrobus will have in their operation 20 hydrogen fuel cell buses on the Metrobus Fastway route 10 serving Crawley, London Gatwick Airport and Horley. The single-decker fuel cell buses are gap funded with money from JIVE (Joint Initiative for Hydrogen Vehicles across Europe). This project is administered by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership under the European Union Horizon 2020 framework programme for research and innovation, plus investment from Gatwick Airport.
Brighton & Hove Buses and Metrobus are part of JIVE and will deploy nearly 300 fuel cell buses in 22 European cities by the early 2020s – the largest deployment in Europe to date.
