South Korea is rewriting the playbook for public transportation with its breakthrough in the European market for hydrogen buses in Europe<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the industrial giant Hyundai, the country has launched pilot tests in Vienna, Austria, presenting a viable and sustainable alternative to fossil-fuel-powered systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korean technology reshapes European mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new hydrogen-powered bus was developed by Hyundai<\/strong><\/a> in collaboration with Slovenian company TAM<\/strong>. It features a 90 kW fuel cell, auxiliary batteries, and a 180 kW electric motor. Its standout feature is the hydrogen storage system, operating at 700 bar and storing up to 35.15 kg \u2014 a technological milestone in Europe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wiener Linien<\/strong>, Vienna\u2019s public transport operator, is leading the three-year pilot, aiming to assess this clean technology for future fleet upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local hydrogen, global impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The bus refuels at the Leopoldau hydrogen station<\/strong>, run by Wiener Netze<\/strong>, using hydrogen locally generated by Wien Energie<\/strong>. This ensures a more sustainable supply chain<\/strong> and significantly reduces the transport system\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion of hydrogen buses in Europe<\/strong> goes beyond this pilot. Vienna plans to add 20 more units by summer 2025, including 10 from CaetanoBus with Toyota fuel cells, and 10 minibuses from Italian manufacturer Rampini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Korea sets the pace for sustainable transport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

South Korea\u2019s leadership<\/strong> in mobility innovation is clear, positioning the country as a key actor in the shift toward zero-emission public transportation in Europe. This development aligns with global trends to decarbonize transit systems and offers valuable lessons for other regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Latam Mobility Summit Colombia 2025<\/strong> will be a platform to explore clean technologies like hydrogen. South Korea\u2019s role in advancing hydrogen buses in Europe<\/strong> provides a roadmap for similar transitions in Latin America and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
