On January, 25 two research projects were officially launched that aim at reducing costs of hydrogen fuel cell buses. The projects are worth 125 million EUR. One of these projects is the Joint Initiative Hydrogen Vehicles Across Europe (JIVE) project which seeks to double the number of fuel cell buses operating in Europe by deploying 144 vehicles in 10 regions across five countries. It is a six-year project that addresses the high costs of fuel cell busus, the availability and development of low-cost infrastructure. The JIVE project includes a range of industry and research partners and is supported by a 32 million grant. The other project is the Models for Economic Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure (MEHRLIN) project which will run until December 2020. The project aims at demonstrating a demand-led commercial model for the deployment of hydrogen refuelling stations.
