Hydrogen vehicles

Will the later vehicles have 71 regs? In that case you could have NX71 HEV as well.

They could have a bunch to be fair, NXxx HEV, WMxx HEV, WAxx HEV would all work.

Maybe I am reading too much into this, but the West Midlands was the only one of the six "fast track" bids not announced. Hmm.

It may be a different scheme, but Coventry has already won some funding in order to become one of the first 'all-electric bus' cities.

H1004 the first to get a fleet number applied?

Reckon these will be in service before the end of the year @Tony ?  ;)

Only one so far, test one for all the stickers inside as well. Aiming for 5th December start, Tyseley fuelling station is working, so 1001, 1004 & 1012 I took to Walsall this week all have fuel in!

Cool, I had a feeling we were looking at either a late November or early December launch. Only a few vehicles left to be delivered, and they all need livery/branding applied, as well as driver type-training.

Can I guess that these vehicles will be fuelled up at Tyseley until appropriate facilities are installed and ready at Walsall garage?

All the 51 boards have it scheduled in so the bus will head over to tyseley for refuelling once per day.

Will these be keeping their 21 plates? I don't know the current rules on re-registering but it looks like a number of them have been taxed.

Do you need tax on zero emission vehicles? I thought not. Are buses different?

I like it, but no more single deckers yet please, NX has more than enough of them

No idea what the rules are. I just checked the number plate of one of them on the vehicle tax checker (www.gov.uk) website and it said it was taxed until August 2022.
