Projekt TriHyBus a čerpací stanice vodíku

City bus with triple hybrid electric drive and hydrogen fuel cells + hydrogen fueling station in Neratovice

• Awarded the Gold Medal at the International Engineering Fair in Brno
• The bus has been successfully operated on the Neratovice city line for 5 years

Parameters:

• 12-metre two-axle bus
• Electric motor 120kW
• Fuel cell 48kW
• AccumulatorsLi-ion 28kWh
• Max speed 65km/h (reduced)
• Distance up to 300km
• Max peak performance 200kW

Benefits:

• High efficiency of operation
  
  • The vehicle fuel cell is used as an energy source for an electric motor that can handle energy much better than an internal combustion engine, a fuel cell drive is significantly more energy efficient than a diesel engine or compressed natural gas
• Ecology
  • In addition to greenhouse gas emissions, fuel-cell drives or fuel-cell power units save heat generators from other harmful emissions that arise regardless of the type of propulsion. These include, in particular, solid particles or nitrogen oxides which arise, for example, in the burning of “green” fuel, such as natural gas.

 

After the project had concluded, the hydrogen-powered bus was used primarily within the ÚJV Řež site and occasionally at demonstration events. At the same time, efforts were made to identify a suitable partner for its future use.

At the beginning of 2026, the bus was transferred for a nominal fee to the Faculty of Transportation Sciences of the Czech Technical University in Děčín. This step opened up new opportunities for its continued use, particularly in education and research.
