Jean-Marc Gales, a prominent figure in the Luxembourg automotive industry, is leading the charge towards zero-emission public transport, advocating for hydrogen as a key component of Europe's energy transition plans. As the CEO of Wrightbus, he has overseen a remarkable transformation of the company, boosting production and sales of zero-emission buses significantly. Gales believes that Europe has a unique opportunity to establish itself as a global leader in hydrogen with the right industrial policies. Wrightbus, known for its expertise in zero-emission buses, is making strides in the hydrogen-powered public transport sector. While electric battery buses currently dominate their sales, the company is increasingly focusing on hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). Gales predicts a significant growth in the demand for FCEVs in the coming years, driven by the advantages of hydrogen storage and quick refueling. The success of Wrightbus in Germany, where hydrogen bus orders have been substantial, has encouraged the company to target other European markets. Despite some skepticism, particularly in Luxembourg regarding the efficiency of hydrogen buses, Gales remains optimistic about the potential of hydrogen for specific routes that demand longer ranges and faster refueling times. Luxembourg's national government is committed to transitioning its bus fleet to electric vehicles by 2025 but recognizes the need for hydrogen in certain scenarios. With initiatives to support renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions, the European Commission and national governments are investing in sustainable public transport solutions. Gales's vision for hydrogen-powered public transport aligns with the broader goal of promoting environmental sustainability and driving economic growth in the transport sector.
