It’s no novelty that Forsee Power is partnering with CaetanoBus for the battery-electric buses<\/a> manufactured by the Portuguese company. Now the French supplier (which also equips Heuliez Bus and Alstom e-buses) announces that it has been involved also in the realization of the hydrogen bus CaetanoBus H2.City Gold<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The vehicle, based on Toyota<\/strong> fuel cell technology<\/a>, that will be tested in Paris with RATP<\/strong> livery will in fact feature Forsee Power batteries associated with 5 hydrogen tanks.<\/p>\n CaetanoBus zero emission battery-electric vehicles, powered with Forsee Power batteries, already operate in many European cities like Lisbon, Braga and London<\/strong>, where 34 vehicles will be deployed by Abellio<\/a>. The new buses will enter service from March 2020 (what is also interesting is that for this order a new financing scheme has been put in place<\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n The partnership between Forsee Power and CaetanoBus has been confirmed also for the hydrogen bus, named CaetanoBus H2.City Gold, launched at Busworld Brussels 2019<\/a>. It will be soon tested in Paris, where also the Solaris Urbino hydrogen will be subject to a trial<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00abWe hope we will be able to build a few hydrogen lines in the short term future<\/strong>. However, our main strategy is focused on battery electric and CNG buses. Fuel cell could be complementary to this strategy\u00bb, said\u00a0Nicolas Cartier<\/strong>, RATP general manager of transport system department in Paris and director of the Bus2025 project, to Sustainable Bus<\/a>.<\/p>\n Forsee Power is now tackling the challenge of hydrogen propulsion with its high-power Pulse 15 batteries<\/strong>. Batteries are installed on the roof<\/strong> and associated with 5 hydrogen tanks.<\/p>\n Thus, the H2.City Gold, according to the partners, can travel up to 400 km in zero-emission mode<\/strong> with the combination of Forsee Power battery systems and fuel cells.<\/p>\n With regards to the pilot in Paris,\u00a0Christophe Gurtner<\/strong>, CEO of Forsee Power, says: “We are proud to support CaetanosBus in this new hydrogen propulsion solution. Their partnership with RATP once again proves that this key transport operator is dedicated to making the French capital a clean and sustainable city. The same values that drive the Forsee Power’s teams everyday “.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s no novelty that Forsee Power is partnering with CaetanoBus for the battery-electric buses manufactured by the Portuguese company.
