Where to find the Resources

Talking to FCB and HRS suppliers and question them on their product specifications and experiences

For lists of suppliers see: https://fuelcellbuses.eu/suppliers

or search the membership list of https://www.hydrogeneurope.eu/directory/industry

If possible, visit their factory and use your performance criteria to question them on performance.

Talking to and/or visiting demonstration sites with operating FCBs and HRSs

For JIVE sites see Figure 0‑1 and/or

 https://www.fuelcellbuses.eu/projects/jive, https://www.fuelcellbuses.eu/projects/jive2 and/or https://fuelcellbuses.eu/

Currently (December 2019) the most experienced active sites are Aberdeen, Bolzano, Cologne and London.
