Hydrogen
in your fleet
A short guidebook to organising the servicing of hydrogen vehicles
Are you considering deploying hydrogen vehicles in your fleet but don’t know how to start? Well, the implementation of new technologies can pose various challenges, particularly at the initial stage of deployment. Equipping the workshop, providing training courses for the staff or maintenance servicing – all this follows different procedures. When entering this new area, service technicians may need more instructions, a kind of a roadmap to show them the ropes. Responding to this demand, Solaris has drawn up a “hydrogen guidebook”. With this Repository of Good Practices, the addition of hydrogen-fuelled vehicles to the fleet will become even easier.
At a time when the share of zero-emission vehicles in transport operators’ fleets is increasing, hydrogen-powered vehicles are consolidating their position alongside electric vehicles. Every carrier is invariably aiming to ensure the highest possible availability of its vehicles on the streets. For this to happen, they need to properly mobilise and manage the resources available to be able to provide maintenance services, including increasingly for hydrogen vehicles.
With the growing market interest in Urbino hydrogen models, Solaris has drawn up a special publication, the Repository of Good Practices. Step by step, the guidebook describes all the actions that need to be undertaken at each preparation stage: from the decision to deploy hydrogen technology to the moment hydrogen vehicles roll out onto the streets to carry passengers.
How do you adapt your workshop? Do you need specially trained staff? How do you ensure safety when using hydrogen technology? What does refuelling entail? Can a hydrogen bus be parked in a roofed hall? The answers to these all questions and more can be found in the Repository of Good Practices. All our experience, gathered in the servicing of Urbino hydrogen buses and in close collaboration with customers, has been compiled in a comprehensive document that greatly facilitates working with these vehicles while maintaining the highest safety standards. The publication also acquaints the reader with widely available regulations and guidelines on hydrogen technology.
