The coach is powered by a fuel cell system designed and developed by Reliance Industries using state-of-the-art components from international partners with significant localization, said Nitin Seth, chief executive officer- new mobility, Reliance Industries Ltd, in a LinkedIn post.
The H2-powered bus delivers a gross system power of 127 Kw and net power of 105 Kw, which is equivalent to 300 HP in line with current diesel bus for intercity applications. The intercity bus can travel approximately 400 km on single hydrogen fill and can bring long distance travel between cities on clean fuel like Hydrogen.
Earlier this year in February, Reliance Industries unveiled India's first Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine technology solution for heavy-duty trucks, which was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the India Energy Week in Bangalore.
