TFL (Transport for London) has recently commited to further investment in Hydgrogen buses and infrastructure. This is mainly due to the success of the CUTE(Clean Urban Transport for Europe) trial, which tested the first generation of zero-emission fuel cell buses.

More information about the CUTE trial can be found here: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/6585.aspx

It is expected that all 10 buses will run on the RV1 route. Five of them will be hydrogen fuel cell buses and the remaining five will use hydrogen internal combustion engines.

This initiative is part of a larger scheme which seeks to have 70 hydrogen vehicles running by the 2012 Olympics. This includes the above 10 buses and an additional 60 non-bus vehicles (ranging from fork-lifts, through motorbikes and passenger cars) to be operated by London's Functional Bodies (TfL, London Fire Brigade and the Met police).
