Hydrogen Fuel Cell technology provides a clean and efficient alternative by turning hydrogen gas into power via an electrochemical method. The technique generates just water vapour as a byproduct, resulting in zero emissions. The Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus offers seats for 37 people. It boasts an amazing mileage of 250-300 on a full 30 kilogramme onboard hydrogen tank.

Significantly, the Indian Army signed an agreement with National Thermal Power Corporation Renewable Energy Limited on March 21, 2023, making it the first government body to do so for the construction of microgrid power plants based on green hydrogen along the country’s northern borders. A pilot project is being setup at Chushul, where a 200 Kilo Watt Green Hydrogen based Microgram will provide 24×7 clean electricity to troops deployed in inhospitable terrain and extreme climatic conditions.  

The Indian Army and IOCL’s Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus project, which focuses on innovation and environmental responsibility, is a big step forward in the direction of cleaner and greener transportation options.
