Dr. Richard Group is the protagonist of a new test round of the hydrogen bus\u00a0Solaris Urbino 12 in\u00a0Austria.. After the test held in\u00a0Vienna in\u00a0June<\/a>, the\u00a0bus was\u00a0handed over to\u00a0the Dr. Richard Group<\/strong>, the\u00a0largest private bus\u00a0operator in\u00a0Austria, which presented the\u00a0vehicle in\u00a0St. P\u00f6lten on\u00a07 July 2020.<\/p>\n

57 units are already in Solaris’ order book<\/strong>. The\u00a0first vehicles will make it\u00a0to Bolzano, Cologne and\u00a0Wuppertal by\u00a0the end\u00a0of this year. A batch of 25 hydrogen buses is bound to the two German cities<\/a>. SASA Bolzano has been the first operator to secure an order with Solaris for the fuel cell buses<\/a>, that was unveiled at UITP Summit in Stockholm in June 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last but not least,\u00a0Connexxion<\/strong>\u00a0(Transdev group) will put into service hydrogen buses in the Netherlands<\/strong>, which prides itself to be the most dynamic country in Europe with regards to energy transition in public transport sector<\/a>. An agreement with Solaris has been secured for the delivery of 20 Urbino hydrogen.<\/a><\/p>\n\"dr\n

Dr. Richard Group is testing Solaris hydrogen bus<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Dr. Richard Group has\u00a0begun tests of\u00a0the Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen that will be\u00a0available for\u00a0passenger rides from 7 to\u00a010 July in\u00a0Vienna and\u00a0St. P\u00f6lten, Solaris highlights.<\/p>\n

The Dr. Richard Group is\u00a0the biggest family-run carrier in\u00a0Austria with a\u00a0fleet of\u00a0nearly 1,000 buses<\/strong>, including the\u00a0vehicles made by\u00a0Solaris. The\u00a0cooperation of\u00a0the two\u00a0firms started back in\u00a02010.<\/p>\n

The technologically advanced Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen buses use\u00a0a set\u00a0of fuel cells with a\u00a0power of\u00a070 kW provided by Ballard Power Systems. The\u00a0hydrogen is\u00a0stored in\u00a0gaseous form in\u00a0five new-generation tanks mounted on\u00a0the bus\u00a0roof. The\u00a0set of\u00a0type 4 composite tanks (of\u00a0the latest generation available on\u00a0the market), placed longitudinally above the\u00a0first axle of\u00a0the vehicle, has\u00a0a total volume of\u00a01560 litres.<\/p>\n

The energy needed to\u00a0power the\u00a0bus is\u00a0produced in\u00a0the fuel cell that is\u00a0supplied with hydrogen stored in\u00a0the roof-mounted tanks. That hydrogen is\u00a0turned into electricity, which, in\u00a0turn, is\u00a0feeding directly the\u00a0bus driveline which consists of\u00a0an axle with electric engines. The\u00a0bus is\u00a0also fitted with a\u00a0Solaris High Power battery acting as\u00a0an additional electric power storage facility<\/strong>. The\u00a0sole by-products generated during the\u00a0operation of\u00a0the Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen are\u00a0heat and\u00a0steam. Consequently, the\u00a0vehicles do\u00a0not generate any\u00a0noxious substances whatsoever.<\/p>\n

Dr Richard Group, sustainable mobility in the spotlight<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Dr. Richard Group has\u00a0been dealing with emission-free mobility for\u00a0a few\u00a0years now. Over the\u00a0course of\u00a0numerous tests of\u00a0battery buses we\u00a0were able to\u00a0gain a\u00a0valuable insight into their practical operation and\u00a0implementation. Now, for\u00a0the first time ever, we\u00a0have a\u00a0chance to\u00a0test a\u00a0hydrogen-powered Solaris bus. The\u00a0longer the\u00a0distances to\u00a0be covered and\u00a0the heavier the\u00a0vehicle itself, the\u00a0more important this type of\u00a0driveline is\u00a0becoming, also in\u00a0terms of\u00a0resources needed to\u00a0refuel. The\u00a0relatively high costs still remain a\u00a0barrier to\u00a0a large-scale implementation of\u00a0this particularly environment-friendly technology, but\u00a0we look forward to\u00a0the test which constitutes a\u00a0significant milestone on\u00a0our path to\u00a0green mobility\u201d, said Ludwig Richard<\/strong>, owner and\u00a0president of\u00a0the Dr. Richard Group.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am\u00a0very glad that further trial runs of\u00a0our new\u00a0hydrogen bus\u00a0are conducted in\u00a0Austria. This state-of-the-art technology has\u00a0already gained wide recognition among clients. Positive changes in\u00a0public transport and\u00a0its sustainable development will not\u00a0succeed without the\u00a0involvement of\u00a0such firms as\u00a0the Dr. Richard Group\u201d, asserts Petros Spinaris<\/strong>, Deputy CEO\u00a0of Solaris Bus\u00a0& Coach S.A.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
