Cenex has announced the results of a five month trial incorporating electric vehicles (EVs) into major fleets across the UK including Asda, national car club Commonwheels, the Groundwork regeneration charity, Indesit and Stagecoach.
Cenex is to play a leading role in monitoring vehicle performance in HyTEC, a new hydrogen transport project that will see city wide hydrogen networks developed in London and Copenhagen. HyTEC (Hydrogen Transport in European Cities) which is part funded by the Fuel Cells & Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), pulls together 16 organisations in a three year project to put the two cities at the forefront of efforts to establish ultra-low carbon hydrogen transport infrastructure in Europe.
Hydrogen fuelled vehicles are able to substitute for conventional light good vehicles with little compromise in duty cycle or performance in return to base delivery applications in rural and urban settings. Such vehicles are able to operate using renewable hydrogen, generated by feeding electricity generated by a biogas engine to an electrolyser, offering a model for the integration of vehicle fleets into a future renewable hydrogen economy. These are the outcomes of the trial of a hydrogen internal combustion engine light goods vehicle conducted in Stornoway, Outer Hebrides, Scotland in July-August 2010. The trial report is available to download from www.cenex.co.uk/resources.
