ISE Corporation, a supplier of hybrid drive systems and components for heavy-duty vehicles, has announced that Transport for London has signed a prime contract with ISE for the supply of 10 hydrogen-powered buses for delivery by 2010.

All 10 of the hydrogen-powered buses will be built utilizing ISE’s proven ThunderVolt series hybrid drive system technology, five of which will be hydrogen hybrid fuel cell buses and the other five will be hydrogen hybrid internal combustion engine (HHICE) buses.
