Aberdeen City Council Ends Hydrogen Double-Decker Bus Project, Shifts to Electric Vehicles
HYDROGEN
Aberdeen's hydrogen double-decker bus fleet has been discontinued due to technical issues and advances in electric vehicle technology. The council announced the shift towards electric buses after discussions with BP, which was a partner in the hydrogen initiative. The hydrogen buses have been out of service since September 2024 due to fuelling station problems, and the demand for hydrogen in transport has diminished as cities increasingly adopt electric alternatives.
