Heavy goods vehicles transport goods to businesses and consumers throughout the UK. However the majority of these vehicles are diesel powered meaning they are a huge contributor of road related greenhouse gases and Nox emissions.The UK government has set themselves a target of a 15% reduction in HGV greenhouse gases by 2025\.For medium sized HGVs (8 - 18 ton) alone there are approximately 88,000, 1 - 15 year old trucks on UK roads at any given time.Meaning the 15% by 2025 GHG reduction for all HGVs is a challenging task.Operators are slowly beginning to adopt measures that help to improve a reduction in vehicle emissions, However they still remain sceptical due to high costs combined with a lack of real world testing.Tesla, Nikola and Cummins have show cased some of their new technologies for large battery trucks but even these are some number of years away from becoming main stream.HGV emission reduction needs to be targeted in the near term.Currently a small yet successful retrofit industry concentrates on pollution reducing or fuel saving technologies for small vans and buses.The purpose of this feasibility study is to take the retro fit market one step further by helping to implement a cost effective battery solution so as electric powertrains are then not only a system adopted by new vehicle purchasers.Currently over 50% of the cost for an all electric powertrain lies within the traction battery technology.AJE Powertrain Limited a leading research and development organisation along with Faradion UK Ltd a world leader in non-aqueous sodium-ion cell technology will as part of this project conduct a feasibility study looking at the benefits of taking sodium-ion cell technology and applying it to the worlds first sodium-ion traction battery pack for a medium range HGV.As well as the technological aspect the project will also focus on a swappable battery pack system that will allow for a quick change of the depleted battery packs and the environmental benefits of sodium-ion cell technology when compared to that of the more traditional lithium-ion traction battery application.Should this feasibility study prove to be successful then the aim of the consortia is in due course to publicly introduce a lower cost sodium-ion traction battery alternative to the commercial vehicle industry.

重型货车将货物运送到英国各地的企业和消费者。然而，这些车辆中的大多数是柴油动力车辆，这意味着它们是道路相关温室气体和氮氧化物排放的巨大贡献者。英国政府为自己设定了到2025年将HGV温室气体减少15%的目标。对于中型HGV（8 - 18吨）仅约有88000，1 - 15岁的卡车在英国的道路上在任何给定的时间。这意味着15%的到2025年，所有HGV的温室气体减排是一项具有挑战性的任务。运营商正在慢慢开始采取有助于改善车辆排放减少的措施，但由于成本高，加上缺乏真实的世界测试，他们仍然持怀疑态度。特斯拉，Nikola和康明斯已经展示了他们的一些用于大型蓄电池卡车的新技术，但即使是这些技术也需要几年时间才能成为主流。HGV减排需要在短期内成为目标。目前，一个小型但成功的改造行业专注于小型货车和公共汽车的污染减少或燃油节约技术。本可行性研究的目的是将改造AJE动力系统有限公司是一家领先的研发机构，沿着Faradion UK Ltd，是世界领先的非水钠电池生产商。AJE动力系统有限公司是一家全球领先的研发机构，致力于为客户提供高性价比的电池解决方案，从而使电动动力系统不仅仅是新车购买者所采用的系统。离子电池技术将作为该项目的一部分进行可行性研究，研究采用钠离子电池技术的好处，并将其应用于世界上第一个钠离子电池。用于中型重型货车的离子牵引电池组。除了技术方面，该项目还将重点关注可更换电池组系统，该系统将允许快速更换耗尽的电池如果该可行性研究被证明是成功的，那么联盟的目标是在适当的时候向商用车行业公开推出一种成本更低的钠离子动力电池替代品。
