"Once the rollout is completed, 127 fuel cell buses supplied by Solaris will represent around 12 percent of the operator's fleet in the city. At the completion of deliveries, the fleet will consist of 60 three-door buses for urban routes, designed for services requiring standard 12-metre vehicles, and 67 two-door units intended for suburban connections linking Bologna with the surrounding metropolitan area."
"Over five months of operation the buses accumulated more than 62,000 kilometres in passenger service, recording an average consumption of between 14 and 15 kilometres per kilogram of hydrogen. TPER has already gained operational experience with the same fuel-cell bus model in the city of Ferrara."
"The hydrogen refuelling station installed at the Bologna depot was developed by Wolftank. Hydrogen is delivered to the facility by tube trailers and compressed through two compressors operating in parallel before being stored in a system known as the Logistic Container."
TPER is introducing 127 Solaris hydrogen fuel cell buses to Bologna, with initial vehicles entering service by May. The deployment includes 60 three-door buses for urban routes and 67 two-door units for suburban connections. A hydrogen refuelling station built by Wolftank is already operational at the Battindarno depot. TPER has prior experience with this bus model in Ferrara, where 10 hydrogen buses have accumulated over 62,000 kilometres since September, achieving 14-15 kilometres per kilogram consumption. The refuelling infrastructure uses tube trailers and parallel compressors to store hydrogen in independent storage banks, optimizing refuelling efficiency.
