The Urbino 12 hydrogen features fuel cells which act as miniature hydrogen power plants on the vehicle, says Solaris. Electric power is generated in the fuel cell via reverse electrolysis and transferred directly to the driveline. The bus is capable of traveling 350 km on a single fill. 

Hydrogen's only by-product is heat and steam, making it an attractive alternative to diesel.
