Hydrogen in automotive.
An APC-funded project, led by Tevva Hydrogen Electric Trucks in partnership with Advanced Electric Machines Ltd, has demonstrated the need for and developed a hydrogen fuel cell range extender to combat the current requirement for heavy batteries.
This is a major step forward in the development of viable low-carbon heavy-duty transport.
Hear Asher Bennett, founder and CEO of Tevva Hydrogen Electric Trucks discuss how the UK can benefit from this opportunity.

Hydrogen in automotive.
Nick Owen, Technical Director at Dolphin N2, explains how they have used ‘ThermoPower’ technology to use up to 30% less diesel in an engine, with the ability to use a range of fuels that don’t compromise efficiency or air quality.
By running on hydrogen, this split-cycle engine can eliminate CO2 emissions with lower NOx output.
Listen to the full interview conducted by energy and transport journalist David James.

Hydrogen in automotive.
Why should we use hydrogen to power our vehicles (and not just batteries)?
What is the size of the economic opportunity for hydrogen in the automotive sector, how do we make it affordable, how do we invest in it, and build it up to commercialisation?
This week the APC's CEO Ian Constance is back, being interviewed by energy and transport journalist David James, as he answers these questions and discusses the work we do to accelerate opportunities for hydrogen technology to progress.

Hydrogen in automotive.
In a £7 million deal, Glasgow City Council have ordered a fleet of 20 hydrogen fuel cell refuse collection vehicles (RCVs) from Ballard Motive Solutions.
Energy and transport journalist David James chats with Dr Richard Kemp-Harper from Ballard Motive Solutions to discuss why the UK is in a great position to “get stuck in and build a supply chain” for hydrogen zero-emission vehicles 🚛
Ballard Motive Solutions (previously known as Arcola Energy before its acquisition) began developing its hydrogen fuel cell RCV after undertaking a research project that was part-funded by the Advanced Propulsion Centre’s Automotive Transformation Fund.
