Trials, analysis and deployment planning for hydrogen fleets

该项目采用三种方法在蒂斯山谷部署氢运输：氢燃料电池电动商用车的示范，自动化车队分析工具的开发，以及零排放重型车辆的具体车队部署计划的制定。项目合作伙伴Arcola Energy和Cenex将氢能技术、车辆工程和车队分析经验结合起来。Arcola Energy为重型燃料电池汽车的供应提供了一条可行的途径，而Cenex的目标是通过支持车队管理者来加速这项技术的采用。该项目将展示在地方政府车队中运行的氢零排放轻型商用车。这些面包车将在议会车队中运行，配备远程记录设备，并与车队中现有的车辆和纯电池电动汽车进行比较。演示的重点是氢技术的实践经验，以及工作人员在操作和加油方面的舒适度，从经验中获取反馈，并与纯电动汽车进行比较。Cenex将开发一个车队分析工具，专门包括氢燃料电池汽车的功能，帮助车队客户确定氢燃料汽车的适当用例。基于桌面的车队分析将作为该地区未来车辆部署的具体车队部署方案规划和枢纽目标的基础。具体来说，该项目将探索零排放氢燃料电池汽车垃圾收集车（rcv）的部署潜力，这是Arcola Energy将于2022年推向市场的产品，以及其他重型车辆类别的潜力。这是地方当局减少其车队对空气质量影响并支持长期脱碳的关键目标车辆。

The project takes a three-fold approach to the deployment of hydrogen transport in the Tees Valley: a demonstration of hydrogen fuel cell electric commercial vehicles, a development of an automated fleet analysis tool, and production of specific fleet deployment plans for zero-emission heavy vehicles.Project partners Arcola Energy and Cenex bring a combination of hydrogen technology, vehicle engineering and fleet analysis experience. Arcola Energy brings a viable route to supply of heavy-duty FCEVs and Cenex aims to accelerate the adoption of this technology through support to fleet managers.The project will demonstrate hydrogen zero-emission light commercial vehicles operating in local authority fleets. The vans will be operated in Council fleets, instrumented with remote logging devices and compared against current vehicles and pure battery electric vehicles already in fleets. The focus of the demonstration is the practical experience of hydrogen with proven technology and the comfort of staff with operation and refuelling, capturing feedback from the experience and comparison with BEVs.Cenex will develop a fleet analysis tool specifically including the capabilities of hydrogen FCEVs that will help fleet customers identify appropriate use cases for hydrogen vehicles. The desk-based fleet analysis will be used as a basis for specific fleet deployment scenario planning for future deployments of vehicles in the region and the ambitions of the Hub.Specifically the project will explore the potential for deployment of zero-emission hydrogen FCEV refuse collection vehicles (RCVs), a product which Arcola Energy is bringing to market in 2022, as well as the potential for other heavy vehicle classes. This is a key target vehicle for local authorities to reduce air quality impact of their fleets and support long term decarbonisation.
