These buses will run on line 1 of the LEO transport network, where they will each cover around 200,000km per year, Safra highlights in a press release.<\/p>\n<p>Each of these Businova buses will be fuelled at a hydrogen fuel station, which will be set up in Auxerre. With this new fleet, <strong>Auxerre will boast one of the first bus lines in France to run exclusively on hydrogen power<\/strong>. And fuel cell technology is getting ground in the country: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/news\/pau-welcomes-the-launch-of-the-worlds-first-hydrogen-brt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in late 2019 the city of Pau launched the world first hydrogen-powered BRT system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Safra Businova H2: 350 km on one fuelling<\/h2>\n<p>The hydrogen-powered Safra Businova is equipped with a <strong>30kg fuel tank<\/strong>, giving it a range of more than 350km before it needs refuelling, according to the manufacturer. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/fuel-cell\/safra-the-debut-of-the-businova-hydrogen-bus-developed-with-symbio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This type of vehicle is already up and running on the TADAO transport network in Artois-Gohelle, forming a fleet of 6 vehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Businova H2 drivetrain is realize in cooperation with Symbio, the hydrogen\u2019 specialist in Michelin group, in charge of realizing hydrogen fuel cell kits for several kinds of vehicles. Safra\u00a0opted for a <strong>smart hybrid system<\/strong>, integrating a <strong>30kW fuel cell module<\/strong>\u00a0(model H2Motiv) and a <strong>132kWh battery pack<\/strong> (a \u201cmid-power\u201d unit). This means that the bus carries less hydrogen than a \u201cFull Power\u201d solution (which uses a small battery and a large cell). For instance, the newly released Solaris Urbino 12 hydrogen has a 29 kWh battery.<\/p>\n<p>This new contract follows on from the latest Safra contracts awarded by the municipal authorities in Artois-Gohelle (SMTAG), Versailles (BE GREEN), Le Mans (SETRAM) and Toulouse Airport (HYPORT), Safra points out.
