ABSTRACT
The fuel consumption aspect of fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) in urban transportation is a significant research and economic issue. Following article presents the results of hydrogen consumption studies for a fleet of 12-meter FCEBs under real life operating conditions in a Polish public transport company on selected routes and evaluates their operational suitability. The analysis includes factors such as the impact of weather conditions, number of stops, elevation gain, and average slope of the route. The article also discusses the challenges associated with implementing hydrogen technology in public transport and the future development prospects for this sector. The results obtained were compared with other studies in this research area.
