🚌🇵🇹 CaetanoBus is leading the world’s first
#hydrogen Bus Rapid
#Transit (BRT) consortium headed by a bus manufacturer, marking its shift from vehicle producer to
#mobility solutions provider. The project supports the launch of
#Metro do Porto’s first hydrogen-powered
#BRT corridor in Porto.
Under a single-contract model, CaetanoBus coordinated vehicle supply, green hydrogen production, refuelling infrastructure, solar energy generation, depot energy management and long-term maintenance. The system includes 12 H2.CityGold 18-metre
#buses using
#Toyota fuel cell
#technology.
The integrated structure centralises accountability, aiming to improve reliability, reduce complexity and lower total cost of ownership. CaetanoBus plans to expand the model with a pay-per-use offer, enabling operators to access fleet and energy infrastructure on a per-kilometre basis, reducing upfront capital costs.
