Metro explores hydrogen fuel cell buses to reduce emissions
King County Metro will explore adding up to four hydrogen fuel cell buses as early as 2026 as part of a pilot project. These zero-emission buses provide extended range, run on hydrogen and emit only water vapor. Seeing how hydrogen fuel cell buses perform will inform if Metro uses them to complement its battery-electric and trolley buses.
The Metro Matters blog [ [link removed] ] has more information about this project.?
