Sizewell C nuclear power plant to get four hydrogen buses from Ballymena
The Sizewell C nuclear power plant will get four hydrogen buses from Ballymena bus maker Wrightbus as part of a test program.
If successful, one of the biggest hydrogen bus fleets in the world might be built using up to 150 vehicles.
The plant’s construction is scheduled to start next year, and moving personnel to and from the site will require a number of vehicles. Four double-decker buses will undergo performance testing at Sizewell C.

Peninsular Malaysia to get first hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen public buses
According to the ministry of science, technology, and innovation, Peninsular Malaysia will soon have its first hydrogen refueling stations and hydrogen public buses in service, The Star said. According to minister Chang Lih Kang, the peninsula should make a similar effort to use the clean energy source since Sarawak has already adopted hydrogen-powered cars and trams.
Together with Gentari, Petronas’ renewable energy business, the Malaysian government built the nation’s first hydrogen refueling station. The government’s dedication to fostering cutting-edge, sustainable energy solutions is reflected in the ministry’s RM12 million investment in the hydrogen program, according to the minister.
