Prague’s Trolleybus Data Show Why Hard Bus Routes Don’t Need Hydrogen
Transit agencies often reach for hydrogen after starting with real operating constraints and skipping a systems-design step.
AI Summary
The city of Prague's trolleybus system has demonstrated that certain bus routes can be efficiently operated without hydrogen fuel cells. The data from Prague's trolleybus system suggests that routes with challenging conditions, such as hills and heavy passenger loads, can still be effectively managed using conventional battery-electric buses. This finding has implications for transit agencies considering the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology, as it indicates that a more thorough systems-design approach may be necessary before ruling out battery-electric options.
