16:57 – After a year of experimentation, the Mhybus , the first hydrogen-powered bus in Italy and methane, has yielded positive results. Fuel consumption has been reduced by 13% and carbon emissions by 15% compared to traditional vehicles. Now, the model is ready to be exported.
The medium – The vehicle used in the project is a Breda MenariniBus with Mercedes engine, later modified for hydro power. From January to September, the bus has traveled an average of 212 km a day, for a total of over 45 thousand miles and carrying over 10 thousand passengers. Tests have shown that the use dell’idrometano did not alter in any way the efficiency. A pilot experiment – The project, which aims to make more sustainable mobility in urban public transport, participated in the Region of Emilia-Romagna, Aster, regional consortium for Innovation and Industrial Research, Aeneas, Start-Romagna, to the local public transport company, and Sol, a group specializing in the production, research Applied and marketing of industrial gases. Alfredo Peri, regional councilor for transport of Emilia, said: “This project has had value as a trailblazer, as well as the technical aspects for the definition of procedures for approval of a new type of vehicle to be used for public transport. “
Costs – How much you have to spend to fit a fleet? For Stefano Valentini Aster “The costs to modify and circulate a fleet of 10 buses hydromethane amount to 210-218 thousand Euros in compensation of CO2 emissions have been reduced by almost 60 tonnes over a distance of 45 thousand kilometers in vehicle” .
