The Dalian Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau in Liaoning, China, recently released a public notice introducing a local standard for the operational management of hydrogen fuel cell buses. The document covers a wide range of topics such as terms and definitions, general requirements, personnel management, depot requirements, safety measures, and emergency response plans related to the operation of hydrogen fuel cell buses. According to the standard, entities operating hydrogen fuel cell buses are mandated to have the capacity to manage essential information including personnel, vehicles, routes, and facilities. They are also required to have operational monitoring and safety information management systems to handle emergency resource information and plans effectively. Moreover, regions and entities operating these buses must have dedicated facilities like parking lots and maintenance workshops that meet the specifications outlined in the standard. Additionally, they need to acquire operational licenses from the relevant authorities. The standard emphasizes compliance with GB/T 29124 for supporting facilities. This initiative by the Dalian local government showcases a positive step towards promoting the use of hydrogen fuel cell buses and ensuring the safety and efficiency of their operation in the city. By setting clear guidelines and requirements, the standard aims to enhance the overall management and maintenance of hydrogen fuel cell buses, thereby contributing to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly transportation infrastructure in Dalian.
