Korean government delivers first hydrogen bus
In South Korea, Korea Bizwire reported that the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) held a ceremony at the Incheon Singheung Bus Garage site to mark the delivery of the first hydrogen bus under the ‘Hydrogen Fuel Cell Purchase Support Pilot Project’ and the completion of the Incheon Hydrogen Production Base. The government launched the hydrogen bus supply pilot project last November as part of its growth strategy to foster the hydrogen industry in the country. A public offering selected a total of 400 hydrogen buses, including 130 in Incheon, 75 in Jeollabuk-do, 70 in Busan, 45 in Sejong, 40 in Gyeongnam, and 40 in Seoul. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy estimates that once the support project is completed, a total of about 18 million citizens in Incheon alone will be able to use hydrogen buses annually, according to the report.
