"Cologne's regional transport company Regionalverkehr Köln (RVK) has entered the construction phase of its Green Mobility Centre in Bergisch Gladbach-Moitzfeld. Following the completion of access roads for construction vehicles earlier this year, earthworks and the building of a retaining wall have now begun on the 15,000 m² site. The project, supported by the city and the Rheinisch-Bergisch district, will serve as a future depot for RVK's growing fleet of zero-emission buses."
"Once completed, the facility will include a hydrogen refuelling station with an electrolyser for on-site production of green hydrogen, as well as charging infrastructure for battery-electric buses. RVK is targeting a dynamic mix of propulsion technologies as part of its decarbonisation strategy. By the end of 2025, the operator expects to run 160 fuel cell buses, the largest such fleet in Europe."

RVK plans a dynamic mix of propulsion technologies and expects to operate 160 fuel-cell buses by the end of 2025, forming Europe’s largest such fleet. Growth has been supported by federal subsidies and the use of industrial by-product hydrogen captured from nearby chemical plants.
