"The vehicles will initially refuel at a mobile hydrogen station installed at the operator's Jever depot. The temporary setup was developed jointly with the Technology Transfer Centre (ttz) Bremerhaven and hydrogen producer Lhyfe to enable immediate fleet deployment. A permanent public station operated by Score is planned for 2026 in the JadeWeserPark in Schortens, positioned to serve both public transport and regional logistics users, Deutsche Bahn points out in a press note."
"For Weser-Ems-Bus, the introduction of fuel cell buses represents the first stage in a wider transition. Two battery-electric buses will follow in the Ihlow service area, bringing the share of emission-free vehicles at DB Regio Bus Nord in Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein to around ten percent. The conversion is supported by two funding packages from the Federal Ministry of Transport amounting to roughly €16.5 million, which finance not only vehicle procurement but also associated workshop and charging infrastructure."
Weser-Ems-Bus has launched six Caetano hydrogen fuel-cell buses in Friesland to expand zero-emission public transport. Vehicles will initially refuel at a mobile hydrogen station at the Jever depot, developed with the Technology Transfer Centre (ttz) Bremerhaven and hydrogen producer Lhyfe, with a permanent Score-operated station planned for 2026 in JadeWeserPark, Schortens. Two battery-electric buses will follow in the Ihlow area, raising DB Regio Bus Nord's emission-free share to about ten percent across Lower Saxony, Bremen, Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. The rollout is funded by roughly €16.5 million from the Federal Ministry of Transport and a €450,000 Friesland contribution. The Caetano buses feature Toyota fuel-cell systems, 37.5 kilograms of roof-mounted hydrogen, accessibility provisions, passenger amenities and safety systems.
