Hydrogen buses on road by 2014

Scotland's first-ever hydrogen buses could be operating in less than two years after the First Minister announced funding for a fleet of the vehicles.

Alex Salmond revealed £3.3 million was being provided so that Aberdeen City Council can order 10 of the buses, which produce water vapour instead of harmful emissions.

That could be Europe's largest hydrogen bus fleet and the vehicles could be transporting passengers on routes throughout the city by early 2014.
