Hydrogen-powered bus
Hydrogen-powered bus. This bus is powered by a fuel cell that runs on hydrogen gas. Inside the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, hydrogen is combined with air, without combustion, to form heat and water. The electricity generated drives the bus and the only emission is water vapour. This bus is part of the CUTE (Clean Urban Transport Europe) project, a European trial to test 27 pollution-free buses in 9 European cities.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pioneering hydrogen-powered bus, representing the future of clean and sustainable transportation. The bus, part of the CUTE project in Europe, is equipped with a fuel cell that runs on hydrogen gas. Inside the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, hydrogen combines with air to generate electricity without any combustion, resulting in only heat and water as byproducts. Photographed outside London's iconic Royal Exchange building in 2005, this red technological marvel stands as a symbol of progress towards greener cities. With its zero emissions and renewable fuel source, it exemplifies the potential for transforming urban transportation into an environmentally friendly mode. The Hydrogen-powered bus represents a significant leap forward in public transportation technology. Its presence on city streets not only reduces harmful emissions but also contributes to creating cleaner air for all inhabitants. As we navigate the challenges posed by climate change and strive for sustainability in the 21st century, vehicles like these play a crucial role in achieving our environmental goals. This photograph from Science Photo Library captures both the beauty and promise of this innovative vehicle against the backdrop of Bank's bustling cityscape. It serves as a reminder that through advancements such as hydrogen-fueled transport systems, we can create more livable cities while preserving our planet for generations to come.
