Martin Uher Bus, a private transport company, has made a significant move towards sustainable public transportation by ordering ten Urbino 12 hydrogen buses from Solaris for services in the Central Bohemian region around Prague, Czech Republic. These buses, set to be delivered by the end of 2025, will specifically operate in the hilly areas around Mníšek pod Brdy. This initiative marks the introduction of the first hydrogen bus project in the Central Bohemian region. The buses will be powered by fuel cells with a total power of 70 kW and will be fueled with hydrogen produced from 100% green electricity, sourced from the Vrané nad Vltavou hydroelectric power plant. Martin Uher, the Managing Director of the transport company, expressed his pride in being part of this pioneering project, highlighting the emission-free nature of the buses and their efficiency in challenging terrains. The partnership between Martin Uher Bus and Solaris represents a significant step towards zero-emission transport in the Czech Republic. The use of hydrogen buses not only enhances the passenger experience but also contributes to reducing the environmental impact of public transportation in the region.
