Stating that the fuel cell utilizes Hydrogen and Air to generate electricity to power the bus and its only effluent from the bus is water, the Union Minister asserted that it makes the bus the most environmentally friendly mode of transportation. Furthermore, he also lauded the joint development efforts of KPIT and CSIR-NCL and pointed out that the technology prowess of Indian scientists and engineers is no less than the best in the world and also at much lower costs.
