Prague Trolleybus Data Suggest Battery-Electric Buses Can Handle Challenging Routes Without Hydrogen

New data from Prague's trolleybus operations challenge the notion that demanding urban bus routes necessitate hydrogen fuel cell technology. The operational daily profiles demonstrate that battery-electric systems can effectively manage hills, long operating hours, and heavy passenger loads, offering a viable alternative to hydrogen for difficult applications. This insight could help transit agencies worldwide optimize their electrification strategies by focusing on battery solutions.
