In the drive to Net Zero the use of Hydrogen can play an important role in future UK transport. Whilst the majority of work looking at using hydrogen as a fuel for vehicles has been focused on fuel cell there is the potential to use hydrogen as fuel within a conventional internal combustion engine as a means of ensuring rapid market penetration of a ZEV in the LCV market.There is a large infrastructure in the UK dedicated to producing, servicing and recycling Internal Combustion Engines. It would be of significant benefit to the UK if these facilities could be repurposed to produce net zero internal combustion engines powered by hydrogen.However, there are significant hydrogen infrastructure, engine and vehicle technical challenges which would also need to be overcome before this could become reality. This project cannot address all these issues but is targeting coming up with cost effective optimised solutions to some of the fundamental issues associated with adapting an internal combustion engine to run on Hydrogen and be a zero emission engine.The project brings together a consortium of academic institutions, small and medium enterprises, large engineering consultancies, tier 1 part suppliers and a large OEM who specialises in the manufacture of light commercial vehicles. The focus of the project will be demonstrating that a Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engine can be a viable alternative to the existing diesel powertrain for use in a Light Commercial Vehicle.The project will run in two phases, the first building on Brunel University and Mahle Powertrain's experience in running hydrogen powered engines to define the likely challenges and issues associated with running Hydrogen in an Internal Combustion Engine. The data generated by Brunel University will be used by Oxford Brookes University to develop a CAE tool set which will allow the consortium to simulate in cylinder hydrogen combustion and emissions.In Phase 2 using the tools and knowledge developed in Phase 1 the consortium will then design and manufacture several options for of single cylinder engine which will then be tested at Brunel. It is hoped that these engines will address the majority of issues associated with Hydrogen Internal Combustion Engines.It is hoped that this project will form the basis of a larger project to put the multi cylinder hydrogen powered combustion engine into production.

在净净净的开车中，使用氢可以在未来的英国运输中发挥重要作用。尽管将氢用作车辆的燃料的大部分工作集中在燃料电池上，但有可能在传统的内燃机内将氢用作燃料作为确保ZEV在LCV市场中快速市场渗透的一种手段。英国是一种大型基础设施，致力于生产，服务，耐加工和内燃料。如果可以重新使用这些设施以生产由氢提供动力的内燃机净净净的内燃机，那么这将对英国有很大的好处。但是，在此之前，存在重大的氢基础设施，发动机和车辆技术挑战，在此之前也需要克服这些挑战。该项目无法解决所有这些问题，而是针对具有成本有效的优化解决方案，以适应一些基本问题，该解决方案与适应内部燃烧引擎进行氢运行并成为零排放引擎。该项目汇集了一个学术机构联盟，中小型企业，中小型企业，大型工程咨询公司，大型工程咨询公司，Tier 1 tier 1零件供应商和一项专用于制造商的大型商业公司。该项目的重点将表明，氢内燃机可以成为现有柴油机动力总监的可行替代品，可用于轻型商用车。该项目将分为两个阶段，这是Brunel University的第一阶段和Mahle Powertrain在运行氢气供电的发动机方面的经验，以定义与内部组合发动机相关的可能的挑战和与内部组合式氢化发动机相关的问题。牛津布鲁克斯大学将使用布鲁内尔大学生成的数据开发CAE工具集，该工具将允许财团在气缸氢燃烧和排放中模拟。在第2阶段使用第1阶段中开发的工具和知识，然后财团将设计和制造单缸发动机的几种选择，然后在Brunelel测试。希望这些发动机能够解决与氢内燃机相关的大多数问题。希望该项目将构成一个更大的项目的基础，以将多缸氢燃料发动机纳入生产。
