Dutch public transport implements fifty new hydrogen buses
Minister of Environment and Living van Veldhoven has recently signed an agreement to implement 50 new hydrogen buses in the provinces of Zuid-Holland, Groningen and Drenthe. All buses will be in use before 2021, but 20 buses will be ready to transport passengers already in 2020. The implementation of hydrogen buses is not unexpected. In 2016 the Dutch government agreed that from 2025 each new bus implemented in public transportation should be emission free. From 2030 no buses in public transportation are allowed any emission.

BMW makes statement by building hydrogen-fueled X5
As one of the biggest developers of electric cars, BMW has illustrated a new prototype of a hydrogen driven car on the international car-congres IAA in Frankfurt. BMW has chosen not to design a new car, but to implement their hydrogen tanks and fuel cell into one of their existing designs, the BMW X5. The company believes that hydrogen can be an interesting alternative or supplement to the existing battery-electric driven cars. BMW Group expects to offer hydrogen driven cars at the earliest in 2025.
