The project aims to establish a pathfinder project for a fleet of hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses in Swansea. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with a market engagement session scheduled for 28th July 2023 to gather feedback from bus operators to shape the strategy further. This tender by Transport for Wales presents an opportunity for bus operators to participate in operating and maintaining hydrogen FCEBs in Swansea. Businesses in the transportation services industry would be well-suited to compete for this opportunity. The tender process is focused on engaging with the bus operator marketplace to select suitable candidates for the project, highlighting a clear emphasis on innovation and sustainability in public transportation. ## Notice Transport for Wales (TfW), on behalf of Welsh Government Ministers are scoping the possibility of establishing a pathfinder project for the use of a fleet of hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses (FCEBs) in the Swansea Bay area.
