Gordon Murray Design Limited and ACAL Energy Limited have embarked on a twelve month feasibility study of a low cost fuel cell vehicle, based on the iStream® manufacturing system.The integration of ACAL Energy (AE)’s novel fuel cell technology with the innovative iStream® vehicle platform (previously developed by Gordon Murray Design) can leverage the cost advantages of both to produce a mass market affordable extra-urban and highway capable fuel cell vehicle.The high level requirements of the vehicle will be captured to derive a vehicle specification. Different fuel cell powertrain configurations will then be modelled to generate fuel cell power demand profiles, component sizes and targets for weight and volume for the AE fuel cell engine, which will then be the subject of a design study. The primary structure of an AE/iStream® vehicle will be generated with the proposed fuel cell powertrain integrated.The consortium will also undertake a techno-economic analysis of the proposed vehicle and develop a project plan and outline bill of materials for a demonstrator vehicle build.

高顿能源设计有限公司和高顿能源有限公司已经开始了为期12个月的基于iStream®制造系统的低成本燃料电池汽车的可行性研究。将高顿能源(AE)的S新型燃料电池技术与创新的iStream®车辆平台(以前由高顿能源设计公司开发)相集成，可以利用两者的成本优势生产出大众市场上负担得起的、可在城市以外和高速公路上使用的燃料电池汽车。我们将捕捉车辆的高水平要求，以得出车辆规格。然后，将对不同的燃料电池动力总成配置进行建模，以生成AE燃料电池发动机的燃料电池功率需求概况、部件尺寸以及重量和体积目标，这将成为设计研究的主题。AE/iStream®车辆的主要结构将与拟议的燃料电池动力总成集成在一起。联合体还将对拟议的车辆进行技术经济分析，并为示范车辆制造制定项目计划和概要材料清单。
