Hydrogen buses launches in Dublin as part of pilot scheme

The video discusses the early stages of hydrogen vehicle technology, focusing on the costs and efficiency of hydrogen buses. It highlights the need for scaling and market growth to reduce costs over time. The transition to a zero-emission electric fleet is also covered, with plans to purchase electric buses. Additionally, the video details hydrogen production in Ireland and a pilot project aimed at expanding hydrogen use in the future.
