New Zealand’s first hydrogen bus launched
The country's first hydrogen fuel cell bus has been unveiled by Auckland Transport as it moves towards an emission-free fleet by 2040.
AT chief executive Shane Ellison said the technology will give public transport operators more flexibility and complement existing electric bus services.
Built by Global Bus Ventures in Christchurch, the $1.175m bus will run between Howick and Britomart.
It will be run by transport operator Howick and Eastern for the initial two-year trial on route 70 from Botany to Britomart via Panmure.
The three-axle bus will use a hydrogen fuel cell to generate electricity along with batteries and the only byproducts produced will be water, electricity and heat.
What do you think of the new bus?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
