Government’s Bias Against Hydrogen Buses Challenged
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on Fleetpoint.
This is the introductory paragraph.
Industry leaders, campaign groups and academics today challenged the Government’s “deliberate” and “misjudged” bias against hydrogen buses in its pursuit of decarbonising public transport.
I do find this article a bit surprising.
- We have had a couple of trials of hydrogen buses in London and Aberdeen and I can’t remember any serious adverse stories.
- Jo Bamford has rescued Wrightbus and plans to make thousands of hydrogen-powered buses.
- Councils seem keen on hydrogen-powered buses.
- There has been articles praising hydrogen in quality newspapers.
- It’s almost, as if someone in the Department of Transport, is saying No, for an illogical reason.
The government also seems to have given Alstom the nod to develop hydrogen trains.
Or has it?
I wrote Breeze Hydrogen Multiple-Unit Order Expected Soon, almost exactly a year ago and nothing has happened.
The only valid excuse is that the Department for Transport is up to its neck in work for COVID-19!
