To give a fillip to India's push to usher in a hydrogen-based mobility solutions ecosystem, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) plans to buy 15 buses that can run on hydrogen fuel. The country's largest oil refiner and fuel retailer is also setting up a facility at its Faridabad research and development (R&D) centre to produce hydrogento run the buses, the company said in a statement. Like all electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles use electricity to power an electric motor. In contrast to other electric vehicles, these vehicles produce electricity using a fuel cell powered by hydrogen, rather than drawing electricity from only a battery. Fewer pollutants and less noise are among the advantages of electrically powered vehicles. IOC said ithas invited "bids to procure 15 polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell buses". This project is the first-ever attempt in the country to address all the aspects of hydrogen-based mobility as the ultimate green option. IOC Chairman S M ...
