JIVE 2 has successfully deployed a fleet of 122 fuel cell buses across six countries, with an additional 37 expected in 2024 (2 in Barcelona, 1 in Tartu, and 34 in Brighton). The project has also established nine hydrogen refuelling stations and gathered extensive data on hydrogen mobility.
The JIVE and JIVE 2 buses have collectively travelled over 17 million kilometres, dispensing 1,340 tonnes of hydrogen. These buses demonstrate low hydrogen consumption, ranging from 5.6 to 7.6 kg H2/100 km.
This data has facilitated an assessment of the economic and ecological impacts of hydrogen mobility and identified the challenges for further technology roll-out. JIVE 2 reached an enormous number of citizens and generated huge interest in hydrogen mobility across Europe by organizing several Bus Roadshows in Central and Eastern Europe in 2023 and 2024.
