Our Story: Innovation in Motion
Vision
Hydrogen: The Key to Zero-Emission Mobility The shift to emission-free transport is no longer a question of if, but how. At ARTHUR BUS, we believe that hydrogen is the answer—offering a balance of efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability that other technologies struggle to match.
Zero emissions – The ARTHUR ZERO runs completely emission-free, improving air quality in cities. Extended range – Over 500 km per tank means longer operation times and fewer stops.
Fast refueling – A full hydrogen refill in under 15 minutes, compared to hours for battery-electric buses.
Optimized efficiency – Consuming less than 6 kg of hydrogen per 100 km, ARTHUR ZERO is one of the most energy-efficient fuel cell buses available.
With hydrogen-powered mobility, cities can achieve their climate targets without compromising on performance, reliability, or scalability.
Mission
Moving More, Consuming Less Our mission is to decarbonize public transport by delivering hydrogen-powered buses that combine maximum efficiency, long range, and ultra-low energy consumption.
Unlike many manufacturers, we design and build our vehicles in-house, giving us full control over engineering, safety, and innovation. But we go beyond the bus itself—through strong partnerships, we offer a full-scale mobility solution, helping cities and fleet operators transition smoothly to hydrogen-powered transport.
Every ARTHUR ZERO on the road is a step toward the future—where public transport is clean, quiet, and sustainable.

From Vision to Reality
The Vision Takes Shape Our story began in 2020 with Gerhard Mey’s vision to revolutionize public transport through innovative, sustainable solutions. To bring this vision to life, he assembled a team of young, dynamic talent. Through extensive market analysis, we identified opportunities, refined strategies, and built the foundation of ARTHUR BUS.
The Founding of ARTHUR BUS
By April, we welcomed our first 10 team members, all united by a shared passion for transforming mobility.
From Blueprint to Reality
Within a year, we transformed the ARTHUR ZERO hydrogen bus from an initial concept into a fully built prototype. By April 2022, the first ARTHUR ZERO bus was ready for its European homologation, reflecting our dedication to innovation and quality. Achieving EU homologation solidified our place as a leader in zero-emission public transport.
Gaining Momentum
To support hydrogen mobility further, we launched our first mobile hydrogen refueling station, combining zero-emission vehicles with practical infrastructure solutions, whilst also touring Europe with our flagship modell.
100 % customer satisfaction
Solidified our place as a leader in zero-emission public transport. As we believe in continuous innovation, we launched our facelift, combining advanced technology with a modern, striking design.
H2 technology in the focus of our vision.
With cutting-edge engineering, strong partnerships, and a focus on complete system solutions, we are not just launching a new bus—we are driving the future of zero-emission public transport.
Technology & Innovation | Built from the Ground Up – 100% ARTHUR BUS Engineering
At ARTHUR BUS, we are more than just a bus manufacturer—we are a system provider for zero-emission mobility. Our cutting-edge hydrogen technology is designed specifically for the demands of modern public transport.
The ARTHUR ZERO – Hydrogen
Technology with a Purpose
The ARTHUR ZERO is more than just another hydrogen bus—it’s a fully integrated mobility solution. While many competitors adapt existing platforms, we developed our chassis, drivetrain, and energy management system in-house from day one. The result?
- Maximum efficiency with an optimized fuel cell system
- Ultra-low consumption of less than 6 kg H₂ per 100 km
- Extended range for uninterrupted daily operation
Modular Design – Tailored to Every Need
From 12-meter to 18-meter articulated models, our hydrogen buses can be customized to fit any transit network. With flexible configurations, ARTHUR ZERO meets the demands of high-traffic routes and urban fleets.
Advanced Safety & Assistance Systems
Meeting and exceeding EU safety standards and GSR2 regulations, ARTHUR ZERO is designed for safe and efficient operations:
- Driver monitoring & cyclist detection to prevent accidents
- Smart energy management for optimized fuel efficiency
- Automated lubrication system for reduced maintenance efforts
Beyond the Bus – A Full Hydrogen Ecosystem
Switching to hydrogen is more than just buying a new vehicle—it requires infrastructure and strategic planning. That’s why ARTHUR BUS works with leading industry partners to provide:
- Hydrogen refueling solutions and station development
- Fleet transition consulting for seamless zero-emission operations
- Turnkey mobility concepts for cities and transit operators
