据6月30日Natural Gas World报道，印度最大的商用汽车制造商塔塔汽车公司(Tata Motors)从印度国家石油公司(IOCL)赢得了15辆质子交换膜燃料电池（氢燃料电池）巴士的招标。

　　这15辆巴士将在签署谅解备忘录之日起144周内交付。除了向IOCL的研究和发展中心提供公共汽车外，塔塔汽车公司还将与它们合作进行研发项目，共同研究燃料电池技术在商用车上的应用潜力。将在新德里的真实环境中进行测试、维护和运营，这些巴士的燃料将由IOCL供应和分配。

　　IOCL主席Shrikant Madhav Vaidya表示，该计划还将成为公司其他各种关键项目的跳板，计划在该国的不同路线和重要行业引入氢能。他表示:“这些未来的规划朝着正确的方向发展，使氢成为最终的净零燃料。”除了与塔塔汽车合作进行燃料电池研究外，该公司还将建立1吨/天的制氢试验工厂。

　　2020年，IOCL推出了混氢天然气(HCNG)工厂，并在试点阶段运行着50辆HCNG客车。

　　TATA MOTORS TO BUILD 15 HYDROGEN BUSES FOR INDIAN OIL

　　Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle maker, has won a tender of 15 hydrogen-based proton exchange membrane fuel cell buses from state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), it said on June 30.

　　All 15 buses will be delivered within 144 weeks from the date of signing of the memorandum of understanding. In addition to supplying the buses to the Research & Development Centre of IOCL, Tata Motors will also collaborate with them to undertake R&D projects and collectively study further the potential of fuel cell technology for commercial vehicles.

　　This will be done by jointly testing, maintaining and operating these buses for public transport in real-world conditions in the Delhi-National Capital Region. The buses will be refuelled by hydrogen, generated and dispensed by IOCL.

　　IOCL chairman Shrikant Madhav Vaidya said the initiative would also act as a stepping stone for various other key programmes of the company, which proposes to introduce hydrogen-based mobility on different routes and important sectors in the country. “These futuristic steps are in the right direction for making hydrogen as the ultimate net-zero fuel,” he said. The company would be setting up 1 metric ton/day hydrogen production pilot plants besides collaborating with Tata Motors for fuel cell research.

　　IOCL launched hydrogen-blended compressed natural gas (HCNG) plant in Delhi last year. It is running 50 HCNG buses in the pilot phase.
