Hydrogen Electric Zero Emissions LGV

对于人员和货物的流动来说，交通都是所有经济中不可或缺的一部分。英国承诺到2030年所有新车的尾气排放为零，这将给交通部门带来根本性的变化。电动汽车(EV)技术目前是公认的低/零排放驱动系统的汽车解决方案；电动汽车可以通过两项关键技术--电池和氢燃料电池--交付。到目前为止，这种反应主要是通过开发电池电动汽车(BEV)来实现的，因为它易于集成。乘用车强调了对Bev续航里程和充电的担忧；然而，对于商用车(3吨及以上)来说，这些担忧是严重的缺陷，实际上，由于电池存储的巨大重量而对有效载荷的限制加剧了这些问题。我们的项目直接解决了商用车的这些缺点，开发了一种零排放氢燃料电池和超级电容推进系统，用于3.5吨轻型货车(LGV)，生产送货车，将在里程、有效载荷和性能方面一对一地取代现有的LGV市场。3.5吨LGV，只需要标准驾驶执照，作为一家规模适中的承运人，在商业市场上一直扮演着重要的角色，几乎在所有商业和服务部门都用作送货、运输或支持车辆。仅在英国，就有大约225万辆3.5吨的送货轻型货车。送货上门和轮辐式配送趋势的强劲增长(受我们在线生活的推动)正在增加对轻型货车的需求，这仍然是所有商用车行业中最高的增长率。我们的项目制造了一款“概念骡子”汽车，其续航里程超过650公里(可快速加油)，可与现有的ICE轻型GV相媲美，远远超过续航里程在160公里范围内的BEV(随后要进行漫长的充电)。我们的概念骡子将展示我们的动力总成系统的重量将接近ICE的重量，因此将保持约1.5吨的有效载荷能力。Bev电池存储的重量将可用有效载荷限制在1吨以下。我们的骡子还将展示与冰相似的每公里生命周期成本，与BEV相比，同等有效载荷的每公里成本至少节省50%；在生产和使用过程中显著减少二氧化碳，整体提高可回收性和可持续发展。这是一种真正和经济的解决方案，沿着“零排放之路”。

Transport is an essential and integral part of all economies for both the movement of people and goods.The UK's "Road to Zero" commitment to zero tailpipe emissions for all new vehicles by 2030 will bring fundamental change to the transport sector.Electric Vehicle (EV) technology is currently the accepted automotive solution for low / zero emissions drivetrains; EV can be delivered through two key technologies -- battery and hydrogen fuel cell. To date, this response is primarily through the development of battery electric vehicles (BEV's) due to ease of integration. Passenger vehicles have highlighted concerns over BEV range and re-charging; however, for commercial (3 tonnes and upwards) vehicles these concerns are serious drawbacks and, indeed, are exacerbated by limitation on payload due to the significant weight of battery storage.Our project directly addresses these drawbacks for commercial vehicles by developing a zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell and ultracapacitor propulsion system for 3.5 tonne Light Goods Vehicles (LGVs) producing delivery vans that will enable a one-for-one replacement for the existing LGV market in terms of range, payload, and performance.3.5 tonne LGVs, requiring only a standard driving license, have always played a significant role in the commercial market as a conveniently sized carrier used in a variety of roles as a delivery, transport, or support vehicle in almost all business and service sectors.In the UK alone, there are around 2.25 million 3.5 tonne delivery LGV's. Strong growth in home delivery and hub and spoke distribution trends (driven by our on-line lives) are increasing demand for LGVs, that continue to represent the highest growth rate across all commercial vehicle sectors.Our project builds a "concept mule" vehicle demonstrating a range of over 650 km (with rapid re-fuelling) matching existing ICE LGVs and far exceeding BEVs which have ranges in the region of 160 km (followed by lengthy re-charging).Our concept mule will demonstrate that the weight of our powertrain system will closely match that of ICEs and so will maintain payload capability of around 1.5 tonnes. The weight of BEV battery storage restricts available payload to less than one tonne.Our mule will also demonstrate similar life-cycle costs per km as ICEs and at least 50% cost per km savings for equivalent payload compared to BEVs; and significant reductions in CO2 during production and usage, overall improved recyclability and sustainability.A real and economic solution along the "Road to Zero".
