VTV.vn - A hydrogen-powered bus has made its debut in Seoul, South Korea on Thursday as part of a city government pilot program to see if hydrogen could be a viable source of energy for public transport.

Hyundai Motor said Thursday that its latest hydrogen bus has been added to Seoul’s route No. 405. It is able to travel 317 kilometers on a single charge in cities and can get up to 92 kilometers per hour.

In June, the Korean government said it plans to operate 1,000 hydrogen buses in the country by 2022.
