Crawley Borough Council have received plans to build a hydrogen refuelling station at the town’s Metrobus depot.

A hazardous substances consent application, for units in Wheatstone Close, will enable the company to convert their current fuel status from Diesel to Hydrogen.

A spokesperson for Metrobus said the company is investing in hydrogen fuel cell electric buses for routes between Crawley, Manor Royal, Gatwick Airport and Horley.

54 buses are planned to be introduced over the course of the next year, making them Europe’s first commercially operated hydrogen bus fleet.
