South Tyrol and Puglia partner on mobility and hydrogen
The program agreement for cooperation with the Puglia Region in the area of sustainable public transportation, and in particular for the development of hydrogen, has been approved by the provincial council of Bolzano. Technologies for zero-emission modes of transportation have advanced quickly in recent years.
Buses powered by hydrogen and batteries are currently the two most promising business models; however, we usually refer to electric buses because the energy storage method makes a difference. Arno Kompatscher, the president of the province, will sign the agreement with the Puglia Region, which wants to conduct collaborative research projects in this area.
