24 May 2022 - Events - Japan

As announced by Kansai Airports (VINCI Airports/VINCI Concessions) and Nankai Bus, in March 2022 a hydrogen shuttle bus service was introduced at Kansai International Airport.

This project is partly financed by subsidies available from the Osaka 2 prefecture for the promotion of the use of hydrogen buses and a contribution from five subsidiaries of the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group. The announcement was made with an eye to the World Expo 2025 in Osaka-Kansai, an opportunity to draw attention to green hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. The airport aims to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 in accordance with VINCI Concessions' environmental strategy.
