Following a recent fire incident on January 2 at a depot in Belfort, France, initial findings have clarified that the fire involving hydrogen fuel cell buses was not caused by the hydrogen flames. The Director of the Belfort Territory Transport Authority reassured the public that the safety mechanisms on the hydrogen-powered buses worked effectively during the incident, emphasizing the reliability and safety of such vehicles. While the fire resulted in the destruction or damage to seven hydrogen buses, fortunately, there were no reported injuries. The incident raised concerns but did not question Belfort's commitment to its hydrogen strategy, with plans to continue powering 50% of the bus fleet with hydrogen by 2025. The nearby hydrogen production and distribution station operated by Hynamics demonstrated resilience, remaining undamaged despite its proximity to the depot. This incident highlights the importance of safety measures and the robustness of hydrogen infrastructure in ensuring the safe utilization of alternative energy sources for public transportation. The incident serves as a testament to the effectiveness of safety protocols in mitigating risks associated with hydrogen-powered vehicles.
