A discussion around the GenComm output, the Enabling Support Tool, (EST) which helps bus fleets decarbonise took place in Holland on April 5th, 2023. Hydrogen Ireland member Hy Energy Consultancy facilitated a trip by European bus operators, transit agencies and other stakeholders to visit the QBuzz depot in Groningen to see their state-of-the-art Hydrogen and EV bus infrastructure. Tadgh Cummins from Hydrogen Ireland member NUIG also made a presentation about the EST tool which allows stakeholders to identify the ideal bus routes that are suitable for the use of Hydrogen buses.
