The Road to Hydrogen: a hydrogen fuel cell HGV demonstration project

“氢之路”是在提赛德氢谷进行的一个示范项目，旨在试验英国第一辆由氢燃料电池驱动的19t GVW刚性卡车。从该项目中吸取的经验教训将产生提高区域利益相关者信心所需的见解，为提赛德氢中心的长期成功做出贡献，并将支持当地氢供应链的发展。该联盟包括Electra（唯一一家能够在给定时间内提供H2FC HGV的英国OEM）、Durham大学（与Tees Valley有着密切联系的主要学术机构）、Transport Research Laboratory（运输研究实验室）和Element Energy组织（在管理、监测和评估氢试验方面具有丰富经验）。该项目还得到了全国性零售商塞恩斯伯里（Sainsbury's）的支持，该公司将在当地的配送中心运营卡车，而蒂斯河畔斯托克顿自治市议会（Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council）拥有一支大型公共物流车队，如果需要，可以在其中运营卡车。该项目将提供与系统集成、氢试验设计以及氢燃料电池汽车试验监测和评估过程自动化相关的若干创新。该项目将与不同的利益相关者团体合作，并将调查他们对氢重型货车的认识、看法和态度。该项目将确定该地区未来的商业机会，以确定发展蓬勃发展的氢生态系统的需求。虽然这个项目本质上是区域性的，但其结果有望帮助英国其他地区发展氢运输枢纽。车辆的可靠性、成本、技术性能、操作约束等因素；政策格局（促进因素和障碍）；利益相关者的观点将很容易在英国范围内应用。其他一些方面，如枢纽的计划和路线图，虽然是利基的，但也将表明其他寻求发展氢谷的地区可能想要追求的一些活动。

The "Road to Hydrogen" is a demonstration project undertaken in the Teesside hydrogen valley to trial the first 19t GVW rigid truck powered by hydrogen fuel cells in the UK. Lessons learnt in this project will generate the insights required to improve the confidence of regional stakeholders, contribute to the long-term success of the Teesside Hydrogen Hub and will support the development of a local hydrogen supply chain.The consortium includes Electra, the only UK-based OEM capable of providing a H2FC HGV in the given timeframe, Durham University a major academic institution with strong links to the Tees Valley, and Transport Research Laboratory and Element Energy organisations with substantial experience managing, monitoring and evaluating hydrogen trials. The project is also supported by Sainsbury's, a national retailer who will operate the truck from a local distribution centre, and Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council, which has a large public logistics fleet in which to operate the truck if required.The project will deliver several innovations in relation to systems integration, hydrogen trial designs, and automation of the monitoring and evaluation process of hydrogen fuel cell vehicle trials. The project will engage with different stakeholder groups' and will investigate their awareness, perceptions, and attitudes towards hydrogen heavy goods vehicles. The project will identify future business opportunities in the region, to identify the needs to develop a thriving hydrogen ecosystem.While this project is regional in nature, the outcomes are expected to help other regions across the UK to develop hydrogen transport hubs. Elements such as vehicles' reliability, costs, technical performance, operational constraints; policy landscape (enablers and barriers); and stakeholders' views will be easily applied UK-wide. Some of the other aspects such as the Hub's plans and roadmaps while niche, will also indicate some of the activities that other regions seeking to develop a hydrogen valley may want to pursue.
