The survey is part of a roadmap to support the development of a UK supply chain for hydrogen fuel cell systems.

The project is a Scottish supply chain collaboration to deliver a production-ready and safety certified hydrogen powered train by November, 2021.

Fuel efficiency is a crucial factor in the world of commercial vehicles. Not because anyone really cares about efficiency, but because inefficiency means cost. Fuel cost is a large part of the business, but the shift to new forms of energy complicates comparisons.

Arcola Energy has given more detail on the A-Drive hydrogen fuel cell-electric drivetrain that it will supply for use in buses, including the Optare Metrodecker H2.

Working a full day’s shift, often in densely populated areas with strict emissions criteria, refuse collection vehicles must be powerful, clean and quiet. Arcola Energy’s RCV solution works hard all day on a 10-minute hydrogen fill and has no harmful tailpipe emissions.
