**CoacH2 -- Next generation hydrogen fuel-cell coach powertrain demonstrator****Delivered by a Northern Irish consortium spanning OEM, operator and academia this project will accelerate the development of zero-emission fuel-cell electric coaches, with a full on-vehicle technology demonstrator to be manufactured and showcased as part of CENEX LCV 2024\.**Coaches are an integral part of the public transport network, with over 30,000 diesel coaches operating across the UK and Ireland. Due to the demanding coach operation (high speed, long range, heavy passenger and luggage loading) decarbonisation options for this sector are extremely limited with hydrogen fuel-cell technology considered the most viable choice. This project will tackle this difficult to decarbonise sector by developing, testing and validating an innovative hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain suitable for coach applications.Consortium leaders, Wrightbus are an established pioneer in zero-emission technology having launched the UK's first hydrogen double-deck fuel cell buses, the world's most efficient double-deck battery-electric bus and the world's first double deck fuel-cell electric bus. Working alongside, Translink, Northern Ireland's largest public transport operator and Queen's University Belfast, a member of Russell Group of 24 UK research intensive universities, the project will accelerate the development of innovative powertrain technology capable of capturing and securing national and international market opportunity.To achieve these ambitions three specific themes will be addressed:1. Development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain with design process informed by intensive operational demands and utilising advanced simulation capabilities / modelling methodologies to guide optimum component configurations. Innovative approaches will be deployed to address the significant technical challenges of large cooling requirements, packaging and sufficient on-board hydrogen storage.2. Measuring in-service operational efficiency via extensive testing -- with demonstrator vehicle undertaking shadow service of existing Translink routes to confirm functionality and reliability.3. Development of a toolkit for evaluating whole-life energy, cost and carbon of zero emission coaches with the aim of informing strategies and rapidly enabling decarbonisation.Replacing current diesel internal combustion coaches in operation on UK roads would have significant benefits for the environment and human health, with estimates of:* 1,670-million litres of diesel being displaced,* 4.2 million tonnes of CO2 mitigated,* 14.4 thousand tonnes of NOX avoided,* 412 tonnes of particulate matter not released to the atmosphere,Economic & social benefits will also include the creation of skilled jobs, stimulating significant economic activity in the UK economy. This industrially-led high value collaborative research will also support developments in other heavy duty automotive sectors.

** CoacH 2--下一代氢燃料电池客车动力系统演示器 * 由北方爱尔兰财团交付，该财团涵盖OEM，运营商和学术界，该项目将加速零排放燃料电池电动客车的开发，并将制造完整的车载技术演示器并作为CENEX LCV 2024的一部分进行展示。客车是公共交通网络不可或缺的一部分，在英国和爱尔兰各地运营的柴油客车超过30,000辆。由于长途客车运营要求高（高速、长距离、重乘客和行李装载），该行业的脱碳选择非常有限，氢燃料电池技术被认为是最可行的选择。该项目将通过开发、测试和验证适用于客车应用的创新型氢燃料电池动力系统来解决这一难以脱碳的行业。作为联盟领导者，Wrightbus是零排放技术的先驱，推出了英国首辆氢双层燃料电池巴士，世界上最高效的双层电池电动巴士和世界上第一辆双层燃料电池电动巴士。该项目与北方爱尔兰最大的公共交通运营商Translink和英国24所研究密集型大学罗素集团成员之一的贝尔法斯特女王大学合作，将加速创新动力系统技术的开发，从而能够抓住并确保国内和国际市场机会。氢燃料电池动力系统的开发，其设计过程由密集的操作需求提供信息，并利用先进的模拟能力/建模方法来指导最佳组件配置。将采用创新方法来解决大型冷却要求、包装和足够的车载氢储存等重大技术挑战。通过广泛的测试来测量服务中的运营效率--示范车辆承担现有Translink路线的影子服务，以确认功能性和可靠性。开发一个工具包，用于评估零排放客车的全寿命能源、成本和碳，目的是为战略提供信息，并迅速实现脱碳。更换目前在英国道路上运行的柴油内燃客车将对环境和人类健康产生重大效益，估计如下：* 替代16.7亿升柴油，* 减少420万吨二氧化碳，* 避免1.44万吨氮氧化物，* 412吨颗粒物未释放到大气中，经济和社会效益还将包括创造技术工作岗位，刺激英国经济的重大经济活动。这项由工业主导的高价值合作研究也将支持其他重型汽车行业的发展。
