En la zona metropolitana del aeropuerto londinense de Gatwick ya se utilizan 20 autobuses de pila de combustible adquiridos por la empresa de transportes Go-Ahead. Para abastecer a los autobuses, Air Products explota una estaci\u00f3n de llenado de hidr\u00f3geno l\u00edquido en Crawley, en las inmediaciones del aeropuerto de Gatwick.<\/p>\n
Los GB Kite Hydroliners encargados por Go-Ahead al fabricante norirland\u00e9s Wrightbus en oto\u00f1o de 2021<\/a> son los primeros autobuses de hidr\u00f3geno de la flota de la empresa de transportes, que cuenta con unos 6.000 autobuses. No obstante, en los pr\u00f3ximos 18 meses se a\u00f1adir\u00e1n otros 34 autobuses de pila de combustible en el vecino condado de Surrey. \"Una vez entregada en su totalidad, la flota contar\u00e1 con 54 veh\u00edculos y ser\u00e1 una de las mayores flotas de autobuses de hidr\u00f3geno de Gran Breta\u00f1a. Contar\u00e1 con una estaci\u00f3n de repostaje de hidr\u00f3geno l\u00edquido, la mayor de este tipo en Europa\", escribe Go-Ahead.<\/p>\n Sin embargo, la empresa de transportes no explotar\u00e1 ella misma los autobuses FC, sino las compa\u00f1\u00edas de autobuses Brighton & Hove y Metrobus, que pertenecen a Go-Ahead. Los veh\u00edculos est\u00e1n destinados a utilizarse en las \"rutas r\u00e1pidas\" (BRP, Bus Rapid Transit) cercanas al aeropuerto, concretamente en los suburbios londinenses de Crawley y Gatwick y sus alrededores. El modelo encargado es un autob\u00fas H2 de un solo piso, que Wrightbus lanz\u00f3 en 2021. Anteriormente, el fabricante se hab\u00eda hecho un nombre sobre todo como proveedor de autobuses el\u00e9ctricos y de FC de dos pisos.<\/p>\n No hay datos concretos sobre los 20 autobuses de pila de combustible que entran ahora en servicio, sin embargo, se sabe que el GB Kite Hydroliner lleva a bordo una pila de combustible Ballard FCmove de 70 o 100 kW y una peque\u00f1a bater\u00eda suplementaria de 30 o 45 kWh. Adem\u00e1s, dep\u00f3sitos de hidr\u00f3geno con un volumen de almacenamiento de 35 o 50 kilogramos. En la versi\u00f3n m\u00e1s potente, se espera que el autob\u00fas FC recorra 650 millas, lo que equivale a unos 1.050 kil\u00f3metros.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" En la zona metropolitana del aeropuerto londinense de Gatwick ya se utilizan 20 autobuses de pila de combustible adquiridos por la empresa de transportes Go-Ahead.

The hydrogen is stored there in liquid form before it is converted into gas in tanks on the roof of the vehicles. Once the H2 station reaches full capacity, it will be able to supply hydrogen for over 100 buses per day, according to Go-Ahead.<\/p>\n When the order was placed in 2021<\/a>, Martin Harris, Managing Director of Brighton & Hove and Metrobus, already specified why hydrogen buses were now being used for the first time: “We run services 24 hours a day, with hilly terrain, heavy passenger loads and duty cycles well in excess of the national average at up to 370 miles per day. Those provide really challenging conditions for any technology but we concluded that hydrogen provides the most efficient replacement for our diesel buses.”<\/p>\n The 20 FC buses that have now arrived were purchased with just over \u00a34.3 million (about \u20ac5 million) in funding from the United Kingdom’s Ultra-Low Emission Bus programme.<\/p>\n newsroom.go-ahead.com<\/a>,\u00a0wrightbus.com<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201439","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201439"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201439\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201439"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201439"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201439"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
