We like CUTE buses!
Following on from the success of the major EU-assisted project: CUTE (Clean Urban Transport for Europe), six cities and regions in Europe and Canada are joining forces to buy more hydrogen-powered buses. Thus accelerating economies of scale. Since mid-2003, 27 public transport buses have covered more than 1 million km and carried more than 4 million people in 9 European cities as part of the CUTE project.
The cooperating cities and regions in the new alliance are: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, British Columbia Province, Hamburg and London. The Mayor of London plans to introduce 70 new hydrogen vehicles to London by 2010.

The CUTE bus programme has now finished (although London was the first city to request an extension to its 2-year trial). The much bigger news today is the Mayor’s invitation to industry to tender for 70 hydrogen vehicles and fuelling facilities by 2009.
