Delivered by a **consortium spanning OEM, supply chain, operator and academia**, the Developing Next-Generation Common-Platform Fuel-Cell and Battery-Electric Multi-Axle Buses, or **"NextGenZEB" project aims to develop a new world leading, commercially competitive solution for zero-emission tri-axle and articulated bus vehicle configurations**. The project will leverage emerging technologies in global supply chain risk management, multiscale modelling and digital twinning to produce **'best in class' lightweight, modular and efficient solutions suitable for both battery electric and fuel cell configurations**. Most critically, through the **adoption of a common-platform approach, vehicle development timelines will be reduced lowering total cost of ownership and securing UK market leadership in the sector**.These ambitious goals will be achieved by* Delivering innovative approaches to the production of **lightweight, modular and efficient multi-axle vehicle platforms suitable for both battery electric and fuel cell electric configurations**. The consortium brings together a collaboration across the supply chain to provide a unique multi-faceted insight into the market requirements, development process and vehicle in-service evaluation;* **Investigate the impact of external factors on the UK bus industry, and to develop new methods for quantifying global supply chain risks.** With increasing global uncertainty and rising material costs, the project will deliver new understanding of the sensitivities of the bus sector to external market variations, and identify new business approaches to increase resilience of the UK supply chains.* **Develop a novel 'digital twin' capability to enhance development and in-service vehicle performance optimization.** With increasing access to in-service data through telematics and opportunities to understand how real-time data can be used to underpin decision making.By replacing incumbent diesel & hybrid vehicles, projected sales to 2034 would see **6.8 million tonnes of CO2 and 2,710-million litres of diesel mitigated globally**. Through the high value engineering activity across the entirety of the supply chain, this project has the potential to see **long-term benefits after project completion with up to 420 jobs** projected to be created and safeguarded in addition to up to **1114 individuals upskilled**.

开发下一代通用平台燃料电池和电池电动多轴公交车（或 **“NextGenZEB”项目）由 ** 联盟提供，该联盟涵盖OEM、供应链、运营商和学术界 **，旨在为零排放三轴和铰接式公交车配置开发一种新的世界领先的、具有商业竞争力的解决方案 **。该项目将利用全球供应链风险管理、多尺度建模和数字孪生的新兴技术，生产出适用于电池电动和燃料电池配置的“同类最佳”轻量化、模块化和高效的解决方案。最重要的是，通过采用通用平台方法，车辆开发时间将缩短，降低总拥有成本，并确保英国在该领域的市场领导地位。这些雄心勃勃的目标将通过以下方式实现：提供创新方法来生产适用于电池电动和燃料电池电动配置的轻型，模块化和高效的多轴车辆平台。该联盟汇集了整个供应链的合作，为市场需求、开发过程和车辆在役评估提供独特的多方面见解;* 调查外部因素对英国公共汽车行业的影响，并开发量化全球供应链风险的新方法。随着全球不确定性的增加和材料成本的上升，该项目将提供对公共汽车行业对外部市场变化敏感性的新理解，并确定新的业务方法，以提高英国供应链的弹性。** 开发新的“数字孪生”功能，以加强开发和在役车辆性能优化。**随着远程信息处理技术对在役数据的访问越来越多，以及了解如何使用实时数据来支持决策的机会越来越多，通过取代现有的柴油和混合动力汽车，预计到2034年，全球销量将减少 ** 680万吨二氧化碳和27.1亿升柴油 **。通过整个供应链的高价值工程活动，该项目有可能在项目完成后看到 ** 长期利益，预计将创造和保护多达420个工作岗位 **，此外还有多达 ** 1114人获得技能提升 **。
