Aberdeen’s Hydrogen Buses Lose 94.6% of Their Value in Five Years

First Bus is preparing to buy 23 Wrightbus StreetDeck Hydroliner hydrogen buses for £30,000 per bus, after each bus cost Aberdeen City Council around £556,000. The company apparently plans to convert them into battery-electric buses, providing a real-world test of the value of distressed hydrogen assets and whether they can be salvaged by removing the hydrogen system.
