Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS), the UK's first Hydrogen Fuel Cell heavy commercial vehicle OEM, has celebrated the latest milestone in their vehicle testing and development program. Their second test vehicle, X2.0, was put through its paces on the test track, delivering the first trailer pull. Powered by green hydrogen, X2.0 didn’t disappoint with excellent performance on its very first test run on the high-speed track at UTAC, Millbrook. A major moment for the busines as the real-world capabilities of the truck were showcased.

The public transport operator in Cologne, Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK), has once again chosen Solaris as the supplier of hydrogen-powered buses. Nine of the buses are Urbino 12 hydrogen buses with a length of 12 meters, while eleven are articulated Urbino 18 hydrogen buses. After the order is fulfilled, the hydrogen fleet in Cologne will number 84 Solaris buses.
