Hey y’all, let’s talk about this, because from an engineering perspective hydrogen buses are BAD news, a total red herring, and should NOT be used in almost any metro fleet.
Here’s why.

It seems theoretically easy to use electricity from renewable sources to create hydrogen. I’m guessing there is a reason that isn’t done.

They dumped a bunch of money into the 2 Line station and threw support behind the project.

How a good metro bus operates:
Municipal buses operate in a mostly stop-start manner, requiring fast acceleration and deceleration.
They do this hundreds of times a day, for decades.
This is where you need an electric drivetrain with kinetic energy recovery.

Whether your bus is battery, trolley, or diesel electric, having an electric drivetrain saves a significant amount of energy.
During braking, instead of outputting current to the motors, the battery management system draws from them, charging batteries mounted on the roof.

And then you have to zoom out and look at the bigger picture.
If we can get 100 diesel hybrids or 20 hydrogen, the answer is *almost invariably* the diesels.
More buses = more service = more opportunity to replace cars.
Which are the 300lb guerrilla in the room.
1
2
80
This energy is then reused for propulsion, smoothing out the load on the engine and allowing it to run at a more constant speed in its calculated high efficiency range.
It’s also why a hybrid bus doesn’t roll coal in your face when starting like most traditional diesels do.

But in the case of a hydrogen bus, which shares the same electric drivetrain as a battery or diesel-electric, you have nowhere to return that energy to.
Why?
Because the space on top, instead of being reserved for batteries, is taken up by hydrogen tanks.

We tend to build buses that are one or the other; “fuel-cell” (hydrogen) electric or battery-electric.
At the end of the day, when you do this, you’ve created a bus that isn’t much more efficient than a diesel, but with extra steps, and a complicated fuel supply chain.

And this is where you run into the law of “[bleep] around and find out”.
Lithium batteries occasionally experience thermal runaways.
These are extremely hot, self-oxidizing fires, meaning they cannot be extinguished with any amount of water and must burn themselves out.

This also saves brake pads and wear on the engine; running an engine at high RPM will inevitably require more maintenance and shorten its operating life.
