In the framework of the South African-German Energy Partnership, GIZ organized a Hydrogen Fuel Cell Bus Study Tour in 2017. The main purpose of the study tour was to share lessons learnt with selected South African municipalities, bus operators and policy developers about the journey in deploying fuel cell busses. The programme for the study tour included meetings with key German metros who successfully deployed Fuel Cell Buses. Additionally, site visits to bus depots, fueling stations and various workshops with managers, engineers and operators, as well as German ministry representatives were included in the itinerary to further deepen peer to peer learning and cross-border exchange.

During this Study Tour organized by the Indo-German Energy Forum Support Office and in cooperation with GIZ, a delegation of high Indian ministry representants visited Germany to meet and discuss amongst others with several industry associations, government representatives and Senate departments. Key points of interest and discussion were to identify the various stakeholders involved in setting up a public charging infrastructure with focus on the role of electricity companies. Besides these meetings, the delegation also experienced and tested a variety of publicly available and free-floating mobility options such as electric taxis, electric car and scooter sharing and free floating electric bicycles in Berlin. Key take-away of the fact-finding mission was that cross-sectoral coordination of the various involved stakeholders and initial funding is required to success in setting up a public charging infrastructure.
