Hamburg is one of the most important cities of Germany and has a huge population that depends on public transportation. On that note, the first ten Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid buses were launched on the streets. The fuel cell hybrid cell is virtually non-polluting and would keep this amazingly chic German city non polluted and clan. It is also virtually silent and can be used in inner city roads where traffic is unusually high.

Fuel cell technology will certainly bring in a revolution in public transportation arena and it is high time cities across the world started to use this technology. Rising energy prices and lack of resources will soon lead most cities to adopt a more eco-friendly plan to provide transportation to people. Daimler buses too have some plans for Hamburg and other cities in Europe.

It is interesting to note that these Fuel cell buses could actually be more efficient and green than CNG buses which are used in Asian cities these days. Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid buses look really chic and they would actually make the city look better. If the Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid buses work in Hamburg, they should be used in other cities as well.
