A Week Dedicated to Hydrogen Buses

In May 2024, Cluj-Napoca hosted a week dedicated to Hydrogen Buses in Cluj-Napoca, organised by the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca and TUCN Transport with the 3rd JIVE Bus Roadshow. A hydrogen-powered Caetano Toyota bus was showcased in the city, allowing citizens to witness and understand the role hydrogen technology can play in modern transportation. 

Highlights of the week included:

• The hydrogen bus was available all week for test rides and demonstrations, allowing citizens, experts, and officials to experience this new technology firsthand.
• Industry leaders, researchers, and policymakers gathered to discuss the future and challenges of hydrogen-powered public transport.
• A detailed seminar at TUCN’s AulaHUB explored the engineering and operation of hydrogen fuel cell buses, aimed at engineers and technical specialists.

These demonstrations offered valuable insights into hydrogen technology’s potential for modernizing transportation and achieving emissions reduction targets.

Paving the Way for Sustainable Public Transport

By relying on real-life data to guide decisions, this initiative sets a strong example for sustainable urban development.

Residents of Cluj-Napoca can expect tangible benefits from these changes, including a more environmentally friendly public transport system. As Cluj-Napoca progresses toward its net-zero goals, these efforts will create a healthier, more sustainable living environment for all.
