Oil India Limited completed beta demonstration of the hydrogen powered bus developed by Ohm Cleantech Private Limited under ‘Startup Nurturing, Enabling and Handholding (SNEH)’ programme of OIL in Pune, Maharashtra on 25th June.
The 9-meter Bus built on a 60kW PEM Fuel Cell engine will power the electric drive and provide for a minimum range of 450 km while emitting water in the exhaust.
The demonstration adds another feather to the Green Hydrogen hat of OIL as the company has already commissioned a 99.999% pure Green Hydrogen plant in Jorhat, Assam in April 2022.
