IMPACTS OF ZERO-EMISSION POWERTRAINS BASED ON HYDROGEN TECHNOLOGIES IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Abstract
This article reviews the development potentials and environmental impact of introducing category M3 vehicles (for passenger transport/buses) with fuel cell electric powertrains to an urban and inter-urban public transport service (PTS) to be operated in the Savinjsko-Šaleška region. The main focus is the demonstration of the PTS modelling and preliminary environmental impact assessment of the operation compared to conventional (modern) diesel-powered internal combustion engines.
