This 8-month feasibility project which is a collaboration led by ULEMCo Ltd, the specialist hydrogen commercial vehicle company, with Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service part of Oxfordshire CC to complete a feasibility study into developing a bespoke hydrogen fuel cell based zero emission niche vehicle chassis platform that will be adaptable for special purpose applications like fire pumping appliances. Initially the partners will develop a deep understanding of the specific duty cycles for these types of vehicles when operated in a variety of use scenarios particularly urban and rural, so that a thorough understanding and detailed model of the existing energy use can be created that includes the power and energy use required to pump water for a minimum of 4 hours and the optimal range requirement. The fuel cell electric powertrain configuration will then be researched so that it will meet this optimised energy need combined with the operational requirements for the vehicles to be available and ready for use at all times as an emergency service, 24/7 service readiness, where the duty cycle will involve 4 to 40 hours continuous running with sufficient green hydrogen refuelling facilities for the various fleet locations. The project plans to focus on identifying solutions that will satisfy the range of operational vehicle requirements of the service which covers a small city as well as across the county boundaries. The technical approach involves completing a thorough engineering research investigation into the feasibility of applying state-of the art (particularly from the UK supply chain) and commercially available electrification technology options including light-weight chassis, innovative e-drive solutions, options for onboard energy storage including the hydrogen and fuel cell technology that would give the required flexibility to the platform to deliver the specialist vehicle application requirements. The project is particularly innovative in that it will deliver a world-first by determining the scope of applying the globally leading OEM sourced Fuel cell technology (proven in passenger cars), within the design solution for vehicle platform which due to its proven high efficiency, lightweight and compact design is expected to offer the best route to delivering the optimised specification. The key outputs from the project will provide a full specification, detailed CAD engineered design for a prototype, a high-level bill of materials identifying key component costs and supplier options and a project plan for the next stage of R&D, which will involve the physical build of the prototype vehicle.

这个为期8个月的可行性项目是由专业氢商用车公司ULEMCo Ltd与牛津郡CC的牛津郡消防和救援服务部门合作，完成一项可行性研究，开发一种定制的基于氢燃料电池的零排放利基车辆底盘平台，该平台将适用于消防泵设备等特殊用途的应用。最初，合作伙伴将深入了解这些类型的车辆在各种使用场景（特别是城市和农村）中运行时的特定工作循环，以便全面了解现有能源使用情况并创建详细模型，其中包括抽水至少4小时所需的电力和能源使用以及最佳范围要求。然后将研究燃料电池电动动力系统配置，以便满足这种优化的能源需求，并结合车辆的运行要求，使其随时可用，作为紧急服务，24/7服务准备就绪，其中工作循环将包括4至40小时的连续运行，并为各个车队位置提供足够的绿色氢燃料加注设施。该项目计划将重点放在确定解决方案，以满足覆盖小城市以及跨县边界的服务的运营车辆要求的范围。技术方法包括完成一项彻底的工程研究调查，以确定应用最先进技术的可行性。（特别是来自英国供应链）和商用电气化技术选项，包括轻型底盘，创新的电驱动解决方案，车载能量存储选项，包括氢和燃料电池技术，这将为平台提供所需的灵活性，以提供专业车辆应用要求。该项目特别具有创新性，因为它将通过确定在车辆平台的设计解决方案中应用全球领先的OEM采购燃料电池技术（在乘用汽车中得到验证）的范围来实现世界第一，由于其经过验证的高效率，轻量化和紧凑的设计，预计将提供最佳途径来提供优化的规格。该项目的主要产出将提供一个完整的规格，详细的原型CAD工程设计，确定关键部件成本和供应商选项的高级物料清单，以及下一阶段研发的项目计划，这将涉及原型车的物理构建。
