Hexagon Purus, a global leader in zero-emission mobility solutions, recently announced a significant partnership with GILLIG, a leading manufacturer of heavy-duty transit buses in North America.
Under the deal, Hexagon Purus will supply hydrogen storage systems for GILLIG’s next-generation hydrogen fuel cell electric buses. These systems are designed to be lightweight yet robust, ensuring safety and efficiency while maximizing fuel storage capacity. The collaboration aims to produce buses that have a longer range, reduced refueling times, and lower operational costs compared to traditional diesel-powered buses.
GILLIG’s adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology represents a transformative move for public transportation. Hydrogen fuel cells produce zero emissions at the point of use, releasing only water vapor, thus contributing significantly to reducing urban air pollution. This is especially pertinent in densely populated cities where air quality is a major concern.
Both Hexagon Purus and GILLIG share a strong commitment to sustainability and the environment. This partnership is expected to provide public transit authorities with more sustainable options, supporting governments and organizations in achieving their environmental and climate goals. The initiative aligns well with global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
The successful implementation of this agreement could pave the way for broader adoption of hydrogen fuel technology in other sectors beyond public transportation.
