A new minibus powered by green technologies has been launched on World Environment Day.
It’s called the “tribrid” bus because it’s powered by three different environmentally friendly technologies- hydrogen fuel cells, batteries and ultra-capacitors. The clever vehicle switches between power sources automatically, selecting the right one for any given situation.
The minibus was developed by the University of Glamorgan and funded by the Energy Savings Trust. It will serve students at three different campuses as well as linking with the university’s hydrogen research centre at Baglan Energy Park .
It’s expected to go on sale for between £90,000 and £95,000.
