HYCITY® is SAFRA’s latest hydrogen bus. This bus offers Mobility Authorities an environmentally-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. HYCITY® produces no CO2 or fine particles when running, and emits only water.
Thanks to hydrogen technology, our vehicles contribute to carbon neutrality, and therefore comply fully with French and European regulations on clean vehicles.
HYCITY® sports an attractive, contemporary new look. Its sleek design blends perfectly into the urban landscape, while its distinctive lines capture everyone’s attention. HYCITY® stands out for its harmonious curves, accentuated by exterior body elements such as the side technical boxes, which not only reinforce its structure but also appear to support the roof with elegance. The integration of front and rear headlamps adds to its aesthetic appeal, combining elegance and functionality. HYCITY® embodies the future of urban mobility, combining avant-garde design and exceptional performance for an incomparable travel experience.
HYCITY® features a full flat floor to facilitate passenger circulation and reduce waiting times at stops, helping to increase commercial speed, another attractive feature of urban transport networks. Access on board is via wide tram-type doors to facilitate passenger flow. Accessibility has not been forgotten, with several UFR and PMR zones inside, customizable on request, and incorporating an electric or manual ramp at the central door. On the day side, the luminous ambience contributes to the creation of an environment conducive to travel. Large glass surfaces and a skylight at the rear not only provide natural lighting, but also a panoramic view of the cityscape. At night, the lighting ambience is created by fully customizable LED lighting, with a night mode for glare-free illumination.

Zero emissions*
Powertrain and CO2 emissions during use: Our Hycity is equipped with a hydrogen-powered electric powertrain. This engine produces no CO2 emissions during normal use. All the vehicle emits is water vapor and heat. Hydrogen production, however, can generate CO2 if fossil fuels are used. As a manufacturer, we cannot dictate the type of hydrogen used by our customers to fuel our vehicles. We do, however, encourage our customers to use so-called green hydrogen, produced using renewable energies.
Braking and associated emissions: Although vehicle motorization does not generate CO2 emissions, certain emissions can occur during the braking process. In particular, fine brake dust particles may be emitted during braking.
Tire wear and associated emissions: Natural tire wear can also contribute to the release of micro-particles into the atmosphere.
We encourage our customers to drive responsibly and maintain their vehicles regularly to minimize emissions, particularly from braking and tire wear.
CO2 savings compared with internal combustion vehicles:
0-emission public transport vehicles save 1.54kg of CO2 per km compared with internal combustion vehicles. In France, bus and coach emissions represent 3 mega tonnes of CO2 every year.
