Since 2009, a hydrogen powered street cleaning vehicle has been undergoing testing on the streets. The project is intended to take hydrogen drives out of the laboratory in order to gain experience on using them under practical conditions. The result: hydrogen as a fuel for municipal utility vehicles saves energy, is environmentally friendly and technically feasible. To make it cost-effective, however, the prices of fuel cells, pressurized storage tanks and electric drives must all drop significantly.
