Introduction of vehicles for bus business environment

Since November 2019, we have been operating a fuel cell (FC) bus that uses hydrogen as fuel, which is attracting attention as a next-generation energy. This bus vehicle has excellent environmental performance that does not emit CO2 or environmentally hazardous substances while driving, and also conducts educational activities such as exhibitions at events and other events.

It is a low-emission vehicle that can run in combination with a diesel engine and a motor and generator. The energy generated during brake operation etc. is converted into electrical energy and stored in a battery, and this electricity is used to activate the motor, assisting the engine's driving force when starting and accelerating. It is an environmentally friendly vehicle that reduces nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) compared to diesel vehicles.
In addition, unlike conventional systems that assist drive force with motors at the time of start, hybrid buses introduced in recent years have been equipped with a new hybrid system that only drives the motor at the time of start, and CO2 emissions have been reduced more than ever.

This is a vehicle equipped with a device that automatically stops the engine due to normal operation when waiting for a traffic light or stopping at a terminal, etc., and restarts when departing. This allows the driver to stop idling without any particular concern. This system eliminates wasteful idling and reduces CO2 emissions, which cause global warming.
