Green Hydrogen for Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme
Notice Description
The Welsh Government, in partnership with Transport for Wales, are establishing a Hydrogen Bus Pilot Scheme as part of their plans to transition the existing internal combustion engine bus fleet in Wales. The Pilot Scheme will include the implementation of approximately 20 hydrogen buses on selected routes within the County of Swansea with a further 23 hydrogen buses servicing selected routes within the County of Bridgend. The Pilot Scheme is due to commence approximately late 2025/early 2026 (date to be confirmed). The Welsh Government are seeking to appoint a provider of green hydrogen that will provide the required level of hydrogen to fuel the hydrogen buses utilised under the Pilot Scheme.
