NextGen Fuel-Cell Electric Buses to Accelerate a Low-Carbon Hydrogen Economy or "NextGenFCEV" aims to develop world leading, in terms of TCO and efficiency, single and double deck fuel cell electric buses for the UK marketplace and export.This project addresses the aim of the competition in accelerating the development of a zero-tailpipe emission fuel-cell electric bus. By replacing incumbent diesel vehicles, projected global FCEV sales will mitigate 15.6-million tonnes of CO2 and 5,744-million litres of diesel by 2031/32\. 51 R&D and 2,335 production jobs (including apprentices) will be created. 1,035 R&D and manufacturing jobs will be safeguarded.The project has there specific themes:1\.**Development of next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell electric buses** that are cost effective, lightweight and modular, to accommodate UK and export markets. After pioneering the world's first double-deck hydrogen fuel-cell bus, Wrightbus will collaborate efforts to explore optimal propulsion, energy storage and thermal management configurations with Grayson Thermal Systems(GTS) and Queen's University Belfast. Operator input via Translink will guide overall design, performance, market requirements and conduct field trials.2\.**Strengthening UK based assembly and manufacturing capabilities to produce zero-emission technologies at scale.** Modular architectures (not common in the bus industry)will enable higher volume production and lower the cost of goods to the consumer. With guidance from Ryse Hydrogen, installation of on-site hydrogen re-fuelling and charging infrastructure will further reduce development and testing timescales. Close collaboration with GTS will add resilience to UK supply chains and encourage UK OEMs, such as JCB, to develop advanced hydrogen storage solutions.3\.**Introduce a 'Hydrogen Centre of Excellence' to support upskilling and knowledge sharing in the UK.** The centre will build upon strong academic links between Wrightbus and QUB to provide training and education of all aspects of the hydrogen economy, share best practice, and generate new sources of revenue. Feasibility studies in to pathways for low-cost, low-carbon hydrogen fuel production in the UK will be undertaken. Further innovation and collaborative research will be possible with technology transfer to coach, truck and off-highway applications. Ryse Hydrogen will also use the centre to conduct a study into lowering product costs of Green Hydrogen in the UK in partnership with QUB.

NextGen燃料电池电动巴士加速低碳氢经济或“NextGenFCEV”旨在为英国市场和出口开发在TCO和效率方面处于世界领先地位的单层和双层燃料电池电动巴士。该项目旨在加速零尾气排放燃料电池电动巴士的开发。通过取代现有柴油车，预计到2031/32年，全球FCEV销量将减少1560万吨二氧化碳和57.44亿升柴油。将创造51个研发和2，335个生产工作岗位（包括学徒）。1,035个研发和制造工作岗位将得到保障。该项目有三个具体主题：1\.**开发下一代氢燃料电池电动巴士 **，具有成本效益，重量轻，模块化，以适应英国和出口市场。在开创了世界上第一辆双层氢燃料电池巴士之后，Wrightbus将与Grayson Thermal Systems（GTS）和贝尔法斯特女王大学合作，探索最佳的推进、储能和热管理配置。操作员通过Translink输入的信息将指导总体设计、性能、市场需求并进行现场试验。2\.**加强英国的组装和制造能力，以大规模生产零排放技术。模块化架构（在公共汽车行业并不常见）将实现更高的批量生产，并降低消费者的商品成本。在Ryse Hydrogen的指导下，现场氢燃料补充和充电基础设施的安装将进一步缩短开发和测试时间。与GTS的密切合作将增加英国供应链的弹性，并鼓励英国原始设备制造商（如JCB）开发先进的储氢解决方案。引入“氢卓越中心”，以支持英国的技能提升和知识共享。该中心将建立在Wrightbus和QUB之间强大的学术联系基础上，提供氢经济各个方面的培训和教育，分享最佳实践，并创造新的收入来源。将对英国低成本、低碳氢燃料生产途径进行可行性研究。随着技术转移到客车、卡车和非公路应用领域，进一步的创新和合作研究将成为可能。Ryse Hydrogen还将利用该中心与QUB合作，在英国进行一项降低绿色氢气产品成本的研究。
