    Quantron Polska attended the opening of Poland's 24-hour hydrogen station in Poznan, showcasing our QLI FCEV truck—the only light-duty truck with fuel cell technology in Europe present at the event. This facility, catering to passenger cars, trucks, and buses, marks a significant advancement in the country's transition towards zero-emission transportation.   Our team demonstrated the practical application and efficiency of hydrogen-powered vehicles by refueling the QLI FCEV truck, showcasing our commitment to innovative and sustainable mobility solutions.   The station is equipped with three dispensers: two with a pressure of 350 bar for buses and trucks, and one with a pressure of 700 bar for cars. It can refuel more than one ton of hydrogen per day, supporting up to 34 city buses and several passenger vehicles. This initiative is part of the Clean Cities project, funded by the EU's CEF instrument and Poland's "Green Public Transport" program. Over the next 15 years, 1.8 million kilograms of hydrogen will be supplied, primarily powering a fleet of 25 buses operated by the Municipal Transport Company in Poznan.   For more information, read the article below: https://lnkd.in/dyfjU3qZ   Photo Credits: ORLEN S.A   #QUANTRON #EmpowerTheFuture #QuantronPolska

    📰 ✍️ BALLARD BLOG As one of the early pioneers of waste-to-energy, Wuppertal, Germany, is using local waste to produce green #Hydrogen to power the city's growing #ZeroEmission bus fleet. In Wuppertal's hilly landscape, #FuelCell buses are proving particularly advantageous, delivering better performance, longer range, and more service hours than battery electric alternatives. In this blog, discover more about the green initiatives Wuppertal is engaging in that combine #Sustainability and technological advancement, how critical its zero-emission bus fleet is to #Decarbonized operations, and how leveraging Ballard's FCmove® fuel cell engine to power the buses using hydrogen derived from local municipal waste contributes to the innovative responses to environmental challenges - helping to lead the way in sustainable urban living. https://bit.ly/4buZaD5 #PoweredByBallard

    We have received another order for hydrogen buses. This time, the zero-emission Solaris buses, totaling 15 units, will strengthen the public transport fleet in the German city of Gummersbach. The German public transport operator Oberbergische Verkehrgesellschaft (OVAG) has ordered 15 Solaris hydrogen buses. This is another step towards sustainable and eco-friendly mobility in the German market, achieved through our brand vehicles. The contract will be executed in 2025. "The high interest in Solaris hydrogen buses confirms the global changes in urban mobility. I am pleased that more and more cities are investing in sustainable public transport development, which is one of the few areas genuinely ready to fulfill the mission of emission neutrality. I am glad that our brand's vehicles are a symbol of this change," said Olivier Michard, Member of the Management Board of Solaris for Sales and Marketing. The order includes 15 Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses equipped with modern fuel cells with a total power of 70 kW. The hydrogen Solaris buses will feature Solaris High Power traction batteries, which support the fuel cell during peak electricity demand. The vehicles' drive unit will be a 160 kW central electric motor. The ordered Urbino hydrogen buses will be heated using a heat pump. #zeroemission #emobility #hydrogen #publictransport
