This project will assess the feasibility and production of a hydrogen fuel cell powered 4x4, including the vehicle requirements, system design and component supply. The key focus will be on meeting the performance, ruggedness and durability requirements for off-road use, while making use of zero emission technologies with a long range.The fuel cell is well suited to this application since it has better energy storage, and therefore weight to volume ratio, than battery electric vehicles (BEVs), but works with electric motors to meet off-road driveability requirements, therefore opening up a large potential market, since traditional OEMs have vacated the space for heavy duty utility 4x4s (e.g. new concept Mercedes G-Wagen, discontinued Land Rover Defender etc), in addition to creating significant opportunity for carry-over to other off-road applications.The defined aims of the project are:*Simulate the powertrain under real world situations (specified temperatures, etc.) to define system specifications for suppliers.*Derive the respective requirements for the electrical drive unit and DC-DC convertor sub-systems within the powertrain.*Conduct evaluations of suppliers for off-the-shelf components and subsystems, to see whether they can meet performance and quality requirements, and financial/delivery-time constraints.*Carry out an integration and packaging study, to explore the vehicle modifications required to include the hydrogen powertrain.The project will be undertaken by INEOS Automotive, in partnership with AVL Powertrain, to develop an off-road vehicle platform from which many variants can be produced, with further applicability to large vehicles including vans and construction plant. INEOS is uniquely positioned to work with its chemical division to develop much-needed hydrogen filling infrastructure in the UK, and AVL will build on their work on vehicle engineering and design to become experts in the hydrogen fuel cell field.Major challenges in the project involve the design and integration of high-performance subsystems with high durability; and development of optimal solutions to contradictory requirements, such as the need to seal the fuel cell for ingress protection, while also providing sufficient cooling to components.If the Grenadier vehicle range captures just 10% of the UK market for SUVs, it will achieve annual sales of 30,000 units. 1% of the global SUV market would equate to 279,000 units per year. Overall, the project will bring a new vehicle manufacturer into the UK, and help to establish the UK as a hub for the hydrogen economy.

该项目将评估4x4动力氢燃料电池的可行性和生产，包括车辆要求、系统设计和部件供应。关键的重点将是满足越野使用的性能、坚固性和耐用性要求，同时利用远距离零排放技术。燃料电池非常适合这种应用，因为它比电池电动汽车(BEV)具有更好的储能能力，因此重量与体积比更好，但与电动马达一起工作以满足越野驾驶性能要求，因此打开了一个巨大的潜在市场，因为传统的OEM为重型多功能4x4腾出了空间(例如新概念梅赛德斯G-Wagen、停产的路虎Defender等)。除了为其他越野应用创造重要的机会外，该项目确定的目标是：*在真实世界情况下(指定温度等)模拟动力总成为供应商定义系统规格。*得出动力总成内电力驱动单元和DC-DC转换器子系统的各自要求。*对现成部件和子系统的供应商进行评估，看看他们是否能够满足性能和质量要求，以及财务/交货时间限制。*进行集成和包装研究，探索包括氢动力系统在内的车辆修改。该项目将由INEOS Automotive与AVL PowerTrain合作开发一个越野车辆平台，可以生产许多变种，进一步适用于大型车辆，包括货车和建筑机械。英力士在与其化学部门合作开发英国急需的充氢基础设施方面具有得天独厚的优势，AVL将以他们在车辆工程和设计方面的工作为基础，成为氢燃料电池领域的专家。该项目的主要挑战包括设计和集成具有高耐用性的高性能子系统；以及开发满足矛盾要求的最佳解决方案，例如需要密封燃料电池以保护进入，同时还需要为零部件提供足够的冷却。如果Griadier车辆系列仅占据英国SUV市场10%的份额，它将实现30,000辆的年销量。全球SUV市场的1%相当于每年27.9万辆。总体而言，该项目将把一家新的汽车制造商引入英国，并有助于将英国建立为氢经济中心。
