Mike Tornabe Chats About Hydrogen Powered Bus in New York

New York City looks to curb carbon emissions with the hydrogen powered bus. End Quote

Mr. Mike Tornabe Logan Bus Company on NY Hydrogen Buses in the Near Future.

(1888PressRelease) July 19, 2016 - "The world is moving towards energy efficient transportation with fewer emissions", says Mike Tornabe, head of the Logan Bus Company. Hydrogen powered buses are definitely a step in this direction since they are energy efficient and very clean because the only emission they give out is water. Even though this innovation is very good, it has a draw back in the sense that the cost of manufacture is very high. This makes it impractical when it comes to using it in the near future.

The latest hydrogen bus, which costs between one and two million dollars, has really been improved on when you compare it to older versions of the same. The ones that came before had relied heavily on ICE (Internal Combustion Engines) and were therefore producing both water and heat as their by-products. The thing with buses of the future is that they will have to take climate change into consideration.

Anyone producing a bus that does not help the environment, or at least does not hurt it, will find themselves struggling to make the sale. People want transportation that is more environmental friendly.

Hybrid cars, such as the famous Prius use and indeed rely on regenerative breaking. This means that when the car brakes, the motor becomes a generator and provides the car with some extra power. This new bus works in the very same way. This is a great way to provide extra power to the engine.

This new hybrid bus has been developed by Hydrogenics Corporation out of California. They were assisted by various companies as well as the provincial and federal government. Even though it has wonderful benefits, it will not likely be on the road any time soon. The cost challenge means that purchasing a whole fleet of hydrogen buses is a challenge. However, as innovators continue to work and find more cost effective materials to make the buses cheaper, they will definitely be part of the future.

Not only will they work well for the public transport system, but they will also be ideal for the school transportation system as well. There are thousands of buses picking and dropping kids on a daily basis. If they can be energy efficient as well that will be ideal.
