Izithelo zobudlelwano bentuthuko phakathi kweToyota Motor Europe kanye neCaetanoBus SA, i I-H2.Igolide Ledolobha yethulwe eBusworld yalo nyaka, eseBrussels, eBelgium.
Ibhasi likagesi, kodwa esikhundleni sokusebenzisa amabhethri, njengoba yaziwa kakade nge-e.City Gold, i-H2.City Gold isebenzisa i-hydrogen fuel cell, ubuchwepheshe obutholakala kuToyota Mirai.
Izinzuzo uma ziqhathaniswa ne-e.City Gold ziboniswa ngokuzimela okukhulu kanye nesikhathi esifushane sokuhlinzeka. I-H2.City Gold izici a 400 km ububanzi (300 km ye-e.City Gold) kanye nesikhathi sokufaka uphethiloli samathangi amahlanu e-hydrogen (inani lomthamo ongu-37.5 kg) imizuzu eyisishiyagalolunye nje ne-hydrogen ecindezelwe kubha engu-350.
Njenge-Mirai nezinye izimoto ze-hydrogen fuel cell, okuwukuphela kokukhishwa kwekhabhoni umhwamuko wamanzi.
Kulabo abangase baqaphele ukuhamba ngamathangi amahlanu agcwele i-hydrogen phezu kwamakhanda abo, kwakungekho zinyathelo eziyingxenye mayelana nokuphepha. I-H2.City Gold ifakelwe ukuvuza kwe-hydrogen nezinzwa zokushayisana, inqamula ukunikezwa kwe-hydrogen uma kutholwa ukuvuza noma ukungqubuzana.

I-fuel cell kanye namathangi e-hydrogen atholakala ophahleni, kanti i-H2.City Gold itholakala ngosayizi ababili: 10.7m no-12m ubude. Ukuqinisekisa ukuhamba kwakho sinenjini kagesi enamandla angu-180 kW, okulingana no-245 hp.
Ikhiqizwe lapha e-Portugal, ukulethwa kokuqala kwe-H2.City Gold kwenzeka ngo-2020, nokuhlolwa komshayeli okwenzeka ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezizayo emadolobheni amaningana aseYurophu.
UJohan van Zyl, uMongameli kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu kwaToyota Motor Europe“Ngenxa yobudlelwano bayo obude neToyota, ukuqonda kwayo izidingo zemakethe namandla ayo obuchwepheshe, iCaetanoBus ibe nguzakwethu okahle wokuqala ukuthuthukiswa kwemisebenzi yethu yokuthengisa amaseli e-hydrogen. Ngibheke ngabomvu ukuthola impendulo yokuqala evela emakethe ngalo msebenzi kanye nokwandisa ibhizinisi lokuhlinzeka ngobuchwepheshe bamaseli e-hydrogen fuel.”
