The vehicles will initially refuel at a mobile hydrogen station installed at the operator's Jever depot. The temporary setup was developed jointly with the Technology Transfer Centre (ttz) Bremerhaven and hydrogen producer Lhyfe to enable immediate fleet deployment. A permanent public station operated by Score is planned for 2026 in the JadeWeserPark in Schortens, positioned to serve both public transport and regional logistics users, Deutsche Bahn points out in a press note.

Wiener Linien announces it is expanding its zero-emission bus offer with the deployment of ten CaetanoBus H2.City Gold vehicles on Line 39A, following the introduction of battery-hydrogen buses in the city centre.

The entry of Wanrun Mining as majority shareholder is said as having opened new pathways for industrial collaboration with Chinese manufacturers.

According to the company, this model enables shorter delivery times and cost-competitive products, addressing the growing demand for small and medium-sized zero-emission vehicles in European markets.
