This year’s BCA Conference was held in our very own backyard; Christchurch!

Showcasing our diverse capabilities, we had three buses, two chassis, and a fuel cell on display.

To top it all off, we had our manufacturing supervisors come out to see all the fantastic buses they have built.

We had a fantastic time and we can’t wait for the next one!

Everyone loves a makeover, even buses!

This coach was recently repainted in Johnston’s iconic red and blue wave, and we love the new look.

Originally built in 2018, this coach left our factory sporting a silver paint job and has recently come in for a fresh look!

All this hydrogen talk has gotten us reminiscing about our history with hydrogen!

The Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine Prototype was a proof of concept that we explored way back in 2009. Powered by a hydrogen combusting prototype engine which charged batteries to power an electric drive system, this was the penultimate development of our combustion and electric hybrid bus designs.

The concept of hydrogen combustion engines is still being explored today, primarily in the space of motorsport where the raw connection between man and machine is highly sought after.

Here, you can see a rare glimpse of the prototype on a test drive. How far we have come since then!

We made it to the H2 2 Zero summit!

Over the last couple days, our EVP Mike, has been in Wellington to meet all the people working towards an emission free future powered by hydrogen!

Check out the fuel cell we integrated into @‌EmiratesTeamNZ Chase Zero! Pretty cool to see equipment destined for operation on display
