This case study evaluates the technical and economic feasibility of replacing diesel buses with hydrogen-powered combustion engine buses (H2ICE) in Switzerland's public transport sector. Funded by the Swiss Federal Office of Transport, the study highlights the potential for significant CO2 emission reductions and explores the operational, maintenance, and total cost of ownership (TCO) implications of this transition. The findings suggest that H2ICE technology is a viable alternative to current s
