Detailed description (English): Flix plans to test and launch fuel cell powered buses in long-distance traffic until 2024 in Europe to set new standards. Therefore, Flix takes part in a recently started research project called “HyFleet” together with its partners Freudenberg Fuel Cell e-Power Systems and ZF Friedrichshafen AG. The project consortium received the official “UIA” (a non-binding letter of intent) confirmation by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure in November 2021. The partners focus on the development of a high-performance fuel cell system for long-distance buses to bring sustainable and carbon-free mobility to life. A European bus manufacturer will join the project in the future, while the climate NGO atmosfair is already involved as an associated partner. Fuel cell power technology is part of the green mobility revolution and gives bus producers the chance to shape the future of sustainable mobility. The planned fuel cell coaches powered by green hydrogen are expected to save 100% of passenger emissions resulting in 0 g CO2 equivalents.
