With the launch of an advanced zero emission hydrogen powered bus, Hong Kong's public transportation landscape is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. After the debut of Hong Kong's first electric double decker bus two years ago, the first hydrogen fuel double decker bus has been put into service on Hong Kong's Bus Route 20, marking a new step in Hong Kong's rich transportation history.
We eagerly look forward to reaching even more important milestones in the near future, as hydrogen powered buses will expand to two additional routes in the next phase, highlighting our leading position in zero emission public transportation and bringing further transformation to the vibrant citizens and passengers of Kowloon Centre.

The double decker hydrogen fuel bus, operated and refueled by the first hydrogen fuel station in Hong Kong at West Kowloon Depot, began its first journey at 11 am on the same day. We are honored to welcome many happy bus and transportation enthusiasts to come and ride, and have distributed some certificates and gifts to commemorate this historic moment - 'The future is H2re'. This hydrogen fuel bus serves Route 20, from Kai Tak (Mu'an Street) to Cheung Sha Wan (Haida), with an initial daily service of 6 to 8 trips.
Citybus is the only exclusive bus company in Hong Kong, with rich research and development experience, as well as valuable practical operation experience in double decker electric buses and hydrogen powered buses. It is a leader in the industry's zero emission transformation.
We launched Hong Kong's first electric double decker bus in 2021 and will continue to strive to launch more next-generation hydrogen powered and electric buses for parallel testing and deployment within this year, consolidating our leadership position in the field of new energy vehicles. We also promise to achieve zero emissions for the entire fleet by 2045.

On the basis of the success of Hong Kong's first hydrogen energy project, we eagerly look forward to broader cooperation with cross departmental working groups and the government to promote further policy reforms to support ongoing hydrogen energy development and the operation of new energy vehicles and infrastructure.
We are committed to providing safe and reliable public transportation services to improve the quality of life for citizens. The company has over 5000 employees and operates more than 1700 buses in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories, transporting over 1 million passengers daily. Citybus has a leading fleet in the industry, with all buses meeting Euro 5 or higher emission standards.
