River Side

The bus runs on hydrogen.

　I started to feel autumn in the morning and evening.

It's been Riverside since a long time.

By the way, I've been worried about it for a long time, but this cool bus, Toei bus, which you can see at the intersection of Hatchobori. This is a fuel cell bus "SORA", a next-generation bus that runs on hydrogen developed by TOYOTA. Toei buses own 71 fuel cell buses and run in various places.

What I see was the "East 16" system that connects Tokyo Station Yaesu Exit and Tokyo Big Sight.

Tokyo Bus Service Information Service

The Tokyo Bus Service Information Service Bus runs on hydrogen.

　We asked the sales office when the fuel cell bus would run, but it was said that it would change depending on the operation status.

I didn't know. However, you can check the web city bus operation information service and system operation status. The bus icon represents the type. The white one is the fuel cell bus.

There are many buses, and you can see that fuel cell buses run well.

Mechanism

The mechanic bus runs with hydrogen.

　How does a bus run with hydrogen? Hydrogen supplied from a high-pressure hydrogen tank and oxygen captured from the atmosphere generate electricity in the FC stack through electrochemical reactions, and then turn the motor with that power to drive the fuel cell bus. Therefore, fuel cell buses are environmentally friendly buses that do not emit exhaust gas, and at the same time, despite the large body, they have smooth acceleration and quietness.

Disaster response

Disaster response buses run by hydrogen.

　Since Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, it is expected that FC V, which has the capability to generate large-capacity power, will be used as a mobile generator with increased interest in disaster countermeasures. SORA, which uses a large-capacity external power supply system, has a high output (9kW) and a large-capacity (235kWh) power supply capacity, and can supply power in refuge such as school gymnasiums in the event of a power outage due to a disaster or other disaster.

Where's the other running?

Where's the other running? The bus runs on hydrogen.

　Where are you running except for the East 16 system? If you enter FC bus in the Miyako bus operation information service and vehicle search model search, you can see the schedule of all Toei buses for fuel cell buses. Near this area, you can also see it at the Tokyo Metropolitan 05-1 Harumi Wharf-Ginza 4-chome-Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Exit and 05-2 Tokyo Big Sight / Ariake 1-chome-Ginza 4-chome-Tokyo Station Marunouchi South Exit. Furthermore, although it is not a metropolitan bus, you can also take a fuel cell bus at TOKYO BRT, which connects Toranomon Hills and Harumi BRT Terminal. By all means, please experience a quiet fuel cell bus.
