Have you considered biodiesel. Little or no modification of standard
diesel engines are required.

Yellowstone has actually trialled biodiesel as an environmentally friendly option:

That looks like the most practical solution.
I question whether electricity or hydrogen to power a large coach is
truly environmentally friendly when one considers their production.
