HyFIVE and H2ME - Project overview

23rd June 2015

TEN-T Days, Riga

Two major European demonstration projects H2ME and HyFIVE

• Deployment of over 400 vehicles and 35 new fuelling stations• Complement the pre-existing plans for over 50 stations, to create a European

network of at least 85 stations (the largest in the world). • Vehicles will be provided by six leading manufacturers and a wide range of

refuelling infrastructure operators and technology suppliers. • Will achieve a step change in the scale of European deployment of the technology• Focus is on learning commercial and practical lessons about the early roll-out of

hydrogen infrastructure and vehicles

HyFIVE Start date: April 2014 Vehicles - 110Stations – 6 (+ 12 existing)Total cost – €38mFCH JU Funding - €18mLength – 42 months

H2ME Start date: June 2015Vehicles - 300Stations – 29Total cost - €63mFCH JU Funding - €32mLength – 60 months

H2ME will allow a test of four national roll-out concepts and develop synergies between these strategies

H2Mobility initiative Strategy – synopsis

Initial strategy based on fuel cell range-extended vehicles in captive fleet applications

Network seeded via deployment of 350bar HRS to support local captive fleets before dual-pressure (700) HRS from 2020

Widespread deployment of 700bar HRS to create a dense national network for OEM vehicles

Strategy based on a large risk sharing JV

Strategy based on expected sales of OEM vehicles supported by generous national tax regimes

Planned deployment of a relatively sparse network across the region to allow transnational driving in the region

Initial clustered deployment mainly focussed on the South East (around London) to allow first sales of vehicles

Expected to expand from 2020 with increased vehicle sales

Large projects enabling the start of the journey to commercialisation of hydrogen vehicles in Europe

New Learning• HyFIVE is making good progress and has started to deploy stations and vehicles, which are

generally “delighting” the early users• The project is starting to deliver valuable learning about the customers requirement for:

– A visible fuelling station network before committing to vehicle purchase– Price sensitivity for early vehicle purchase– The design of fuelling stations to provide an excellent customer experience

• H2ME will complement this consumer work, by understanding the network issues and business models which will be able to underpin investment in station networks

Value of scale• These projects represent a massive increase in scale and visibility of deployment of hydrogen

vehicles in Europe• They should provide a first “plausible” customer experience of hydrogen for selected

customers• Inclusion of a diversity of vehicle choices suggests the first step on the journey to

commercialisation has begun• Analysis of nationwide models for investment prepares for further deployments using public

private investments such as TEN-T and national initiatives
