The Switzerland pilot, Demo Site #6, aims to introduce a demand-responsive transport (DRT) hydrogen-powered shuttle alongside an H₂ refuelling station in the outskirts of Geneva. This initiative is being implemented through a collaboration between Hitachi Energy—a leader in the development of innovative and sustainable energy solutions—Transports Publics Genevois (TPG), Geneva’s main public transport operator, and the University of Geneva (UniGe).
The key objectives of this demonstrator include:
✓Introducing a hydrogen-powered vehicle into tpgFlex DRT operations
✓Deploying the region’s first hydrogen refuelling hub in the Geneva area
✓Providing a mobility support vehicle tailored for PRMs to support tpgFlex services
✓Utilizing surplus photovoltaic renewable energy
✓Assessing the operational integration of hydrogen technology within PT
