The Fuel Cell Bus Club comprises the participants of the projects CUTE, ECTOS and STEP ( ** ). They currently operate the largest fleet of fuel cell buses in the world, 33 buses, as part of a two-year Mercedes-Benz Citaro hydrogen fuel cell bus trial with three buses in each city. The buses were estimated to cost US$1.2 million each and have a range of 300 km and carry around 70 passengers. ...more on Wikipedia about "Fuel Cell Bus Club"
A green vehicle is a vehicle that is considered to be " environmentally friendly." This is accomplished by reducing consumption of petroleum, or, preferably, by using renewable energy sources for fuel/ energy. Examples of green vehicles include electric cars, hybrid cars and hydrogen cars. Solar car races are held on a regular basis in order to promote green vehicles and other " green technology". ...more on Wikipedia about "Green vehicle"
A hydrogen car is an automobile which uses hydrogen as its primary source of power for locomotion. These cars generally use the hydrogen in one of two methods: combustion or fuel-cell conversion. In combustion, the hydrogen is "burned" in engines in fundamentally the same method as traditional gasoline cars. In fuel-cell conversion, the hydrogen is turned into electricity through fuel cells which then powers electric motors. With either method, the only byproduct from the spent hydrogen is water. ...more on Wikipedia about "Hydrogen vehicle"

(Vehicle-to-grid) Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology is a bi-directional grid interface for gridable Electric vehicles such as Battery Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles. It allows such vehicles to use excess battery power to help load balance localized grid segments durring peak load periods. These vehicles can then be recharged during off peak hours at cheaper rates while helping to absorb excess night time generation. ...more on Wikipedia about "Vehicle-to-grid"
