Our partner Transdev is in charge for hydrogen coaches in den french pilot!
About us
Transdev is a key player in public transport. They own the first retrofitted H2 coach is Europe. As a partner of the Normandy Region, Transdev has been operating this unique H2 coach on a regular line from Rouen to Evreux since May 2024.
It has allowed Transdev to become a major operator of hydrogen mobility in Normandy thanks to its 14 buses runnng in Rouen’s urban network and to the retrofitted coach for long distance lines.
Our role in the project
In the Lihyp project, Transdev will try and understand the failures and effects of the coach at the component level through a comprehensive Failure Mode and Effect Analysis. They will realise a Life Cycle Analysis of the H2 retrofitted coach to show its viability compared to a standard solution and monitor the real time data for potential market uptake.
Transdev will participate to WP1 by sharing all the necessary data linked to their vehicule for the use of the platform, to WP2 by demonstrating their coach to the project’s partners, to WP3 by sharing their experience and lessons learnt regarding regulations and authorisations for such an innovation and to WP4 by taking part to the elaboration of the regional roadmap.
Our vision of the hydrogen economy of the future
Transdev hopes to be part and parcel of Normandy’s decarbonisation strategy by introducing a new mobility solution that offers a sustainable energy efficiency.
