About
This panel aims to discuss the opportunities and challenges to the emerging market of zero-emission coach infrastructure, specifically looking to cover the availability of hydrogen refuelling and recharging networks, recharge time, grid capacity, managing vehicle range and the emergence of new business models.
IRU will moderate the panel, and as the road and transport union, they have vast experience and expertise in the legislation and deployment of buses, coaches, and associated infrastructure through their global members.
Flix will provide the perspective of a global mobility operator, aiming at progressively enhance sustainability in long-distance bus transport by investigating new solutions within the FlixBus fleet. They will also discuss the different challenges faced by an operator aiming to decarbonise their fleet.
Rebel Group have developed a Community of Practice regarding hydrogen buses in the Netherlands, in which PTAs, PTOs, bus OEMs and hydrogen infrastructure providers have come together to share knowledge regarding the implementation of hydrogen buses, in order to accelerate the uptake of hydrogen buses and coaches in the Netherlands. The contents of the Community of Practice will be shared in the panel.
The Confederation of Passenger Transport UK (CPT) will be able to provide their expertise in decarbonising public transport, as the representatives of the UK bus and coach sector, with over 900 members from across the industry. CPT also established the Zero Emission Coach Taskforce in 2021, bringing together key experts to identify the challenges to decarbonising coach fleets, supported by industry evidence, leading to the publication of multiple reports on decarbonising mobility, specifically regarding bus and coaches.
As part of its involvement in zero-emission mobility projects, POLIS ensures that its network of cities and regions can benefit from the projects research & innovation, either by direct participation as pilot sites/living labs, but also as part of a knowledge-sharing community. POLIS has also been at the forefront of policy and advocacy actions in this sector as the voice of cities and regions, through policy papers, working groups and peer exchange in relation to mobility projects, and knowledge on European policies such as the CVD or AFIR, and will bring the wealth of knowledge to the panel discussion.
