On Thursday, Olectra Greentech, in collaboration with Reliance, unveiled a Hydrogen Bus, a carbon-free alternative to traditional public transportation.
According to a statement, Olectra Greentech Ltd (OGL), a subsidiary of Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL), will offer the next-generation transportation system to the Indian market.
To address the adverse impacts of air pollution and emissions, as well as the depletion of natural resources, Olectra is spearheading the advancement of hydrogen-fueled buses. This move is poised to support India’s ambitions for a hydrogen-powered economy, thereby enabling the country to achieve its carbon-neutral targets.
In its statement, Olectra highlights its commitment to promoting environmentally-friendly and secure energy solutions for the nation, through the introduction of its hydrogen-powered buses.
The 12-meter low-floor bus is versatile, with a seating capacity that ranges from 32 to 49 passengers, in addition to a driver seat.
Furthermore, it boasts a remarkable travel distance of up to 400 kilometers on a single hydrogen fill, ensuring a sustainable and efficient mode of transportation.
In terms of emissions, these buses emit only water through their tailpipes. This is the main unique selling point for replacing old diesel and gasoline systems with these green buses.
Olectra Electric has installed Type-4 hydrogen cylinders on the bus’s roof. The cylinders can withstand temperatures ranging from -20 to +85 degrees Celsius.
Olectra plans to commercialize these buses within a year.
