Murdoch University researchers will be assisting the Department of Transport and Infrastructure with a trial for three DaimlerChrysler fuel cell buses to operate within the Transperth fleet next year.Western Australia was invited to participate in the trial by bus designer DaimlerChrysler, and will join a consortium of 30 government, private sector and research organisations in the project. This project is funded by the European Union, and will involve a major trial in ten European cities. The Perth component of the project is being funded by the WA and Commonwealth governments and will link in with the EU project work programs. The trial will investigate a variety of methods of producing, distributing and retailing Hydrogen, the impact of different bus routes, topography and climates and social and economic issues regarding the introduction of major new technology into communities. Fuel cell buses will hit Perth streets in late 2003. |
