HYDROGEN VEHICLES
Defining the role of Hydrogen in Europe
• FCEVs for medium-long range transport• Satisfying up to 50% of the car market• Potential for significant well-to-wheels CO2 saving
Pre-requisites for roll-out• Technology cannot disrupt daily routine
• Rapid refuelling• Performance• Maintenance
• Require government support and subsidy• Early adopters will be forced to up-front (some)cost• Cost reductions are critical (cost per kW currently high)
HICEs can meet cost, refuelling and maintenance requirements, and support the rollout of infrastructure
HICE CARSVEHICLES | ROLL OUT
HICE VEHICLESPotential for early adopters
• FCEV platforms currently target personal transport• Early adopters will include industrial users• Return to depot fleet vehicles are normally not passenger
vehicles
HICEs offer benefits for LCVs
• Light commercial vehicles require high peak power output• Many operate on captive, or local/municipal duty
• Lower range is acceptable (fast refill)• Single point of refuel – greater utilisation• Lower cost/kW• Better understanding of residual value• Immediate recognition of economies of scale
• Stepping stone on the way to full FCEVs• Supports early roll out of infrastructure

HYDROGEN VEHICLES
HICE Transit
• Commercial vehicle platform
• 4.5kg gas storage (under-floor)• Retains load volume• 110hp on Hydrogen• Meets Proposed Euro 5&6 emissions standards• 100 mile range• C.£36K to convert
• Retains gasoline system – dual fuel• Limits range anxiety and provides a back up system

HOST TRIALS
HFUELONSITE FUEL FOR EVENTS
HFuel
• On site hydrogen generation - PEM electrolysers• 15kg per day unit – refuelling at 350bar• Plug and play – just add power & tap water• Provides customers with a real life demo unit at their site
• Currently outside at Hannover - next to ride & drive area
HYDROGEN ON SITE TRIALS
DEMONSTRATION (HOST)
• 21 commercial partners• Broad range of industrial sectors• 1-4 week trial at customer sites
• 270+ refuelling events• 500+ kg of hydrogen generated on-site• 10,000+ km travelled on hydrogen• 50+ different van drivers• 100% availability on HFuel plant• Technology proved practical and operational
HOST
Where suitable, HICEs can provide near-term hydrogen vehicle solutions
• Light commercial vehicles are currently not targeted for FCEVs
• In these markets cost, reliability and ruggedness are key• RTD business costs dominated by fuel• HICEs gives familiar technology, with zero tailpipe CO2
• Supports early stage H2 infrastructure• Ultimately, FCEV commercial vehicles are required
• HICE’s can satisfy requirements in short-medium term
