Dijon Métropole Shifts from Hydrogen to Electric and Biofuel Buses Amid Supplier Failures
ELECTROLYZERHYDROGENBIOFUELS
Dijon Métropole has decided to abandon its hydrogen bus initiative due to supplier failures and economic challenges, opting instead for a mixed fleet of battery-electric and biofuel buses by 2028. The plan includes the purchase of 117 battery-electric buses and 55 hybrid buses powered by HVO biofuel, while hydrogen will still be used for refuse collection vehicles. Local hydrogen production has ceased following the bankruptcy of McPhy Energy, with future supplies expected from Air Liquide and EDF.
