Transport for London

Benefits

We believe hydrogen technology will play a major role in helping to reduce the impact of the Capital's public transport network on the environment.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are clean and efficient, producing no tailpipe emissions other than water vapour.

Hydrogen technology offers the following key benefits:

Taking into account the methods of hydrogen production, it is expected that overall the fuel cell vehicles will produce 50 per cent less CO2 than a diesel vehicle.

Costs versus benefits

Although hydrogen-powered vehicles are costly, we are kick-starting commercial use of these vehicles and raising awareness of their environmental advantages.

As demand increases, we expect costs to decline and hydrogen technology to become a more affordable and viable alternative.
