Britain s first hydrogen-powered bus service has been launched and is set to service the tourist trail.
The RV1 bus is the first of an eight-strong fleet of hydrogen-fuelled buses that will run London s famous tourist route, from the River Thames to the West End. It can run for 18 hours before needing refueling, only emitting water produced from the combination of oxygen and hydrogen within the engine into the atmosphere, as reported in Tour Expi.
The launch of this environmentally friendly bus service is part of the City Hall s initiative to put London on the green tourism map.
