Daimler Buses teams up with FEV to launch the first hydrogen-powered Setra demonstrator vehicle

Aachen (Germany) February 04, 2026 (PROTEXT/news aktuell) - FEV has teamed up with Daimler Buses to create the first coach with a hydrogen fuel cell drive system. The starting point for the “H₂ Coach” technology demonstrator, which is intended for testing purposes, was a conventional Setra coach. This marks an important step toward locally emission-free long-distance travel: short refueling times, ranges of at least 800 kilometers per tank filling, and quiet operation underscore its practicality.
