Ports of Auckland has been approved for part-funding for the purchase of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles from the Government’s Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund (LEVCF), administrated by the Energy Efficiency and Conversation Authority (EECA).
Ports of Auckland, along with its project partners Auckland Transport, Auckland Council and KiwiRail will procure a hydrogen fuel cell bus and three hydrogen fuel cell cars as part of its wider project to build a hydrogen fuel production plant.
The co-funding will provide 14% of the estimated cost of these vehicles.

Having government support as well is a real boost,” said Rosie Mercer, Ports of Auckland’s Hydrogen Project Manager.
