Chinese motorist drinks water from exhaust of hydrogen-powered bus to show how clean it is

In the video, a bus driver used a paper cup to collect the water which exhausted from the fuel cell bus and drunk it all to show how clean it is.

He said: "The bus only exhausts watery transparent liquid and the liquid reaches the drinking water level. I will show everyone if the water is drinkable now."

After he finished the half a cup of the liquid, he said: "The water was warm, which was around 30C. It tastes quite good, a bit sweet."
