=== China ===
In 2005, Beijing purchased three hydrogen fuel cell buses from the consortium using [[United Nations Development Programme]] grants. These buses entered service as the first fuel cell buses in China, in June 2006. Scientists and researchers hoped to demonstrate how emission free transport could be achieved in China. At the time, fossil fuels such as coal and oil made up 90 per cent of China's total energy use.<ref name="gov.cn"/> However, the buses were withdrawn after one year, as air pollution reduced the efficiency and operating life of the fuel cells.<ref>{{Cite web |last=杨裕生 |date=20 March 2013 |title=杨裕生院士：氢燃料电池拯救不了蓝天 |url=https://news.sciencenet.cn/htmlnews/2013/3/275834.shtm |access-date=26 October 2022 |website=Sciencenet.cn |language=Chinese}}</ref>
