Abstract

This study examines optimizing the cost-effectiveness of hydrogen-powered buses within the green supply chain framework. Given the urgency of climate change, green supply chains and new energy transportation are crucial for sustainable development. Hydrogen-powered buses, as eco-friendly and efficient transport, have vast potential in public transportation but are hindered by high costs. Studying their cost-effectiveness optimization is thus theoretically and practically significant. The article explores the relationship between green supply chain and cost-effectiveness optimization of these buses, suggests optimization strategies, and discusses challenges and countermeasures to foster their market development and green transformation of public transportation.
