Hyer Power - Hydrogen extended range Powertrain for Special Purpose vehicles including Ambulances, Fire Engines and Road Sweepers

这个为期3.5年的项目由专业的氢商用车公司ULEMCo Ltd领导，与合作伙伴Technical Services（UK）Ltd合作提供冷却能力，Altair Ltd提供车辆能源系统建模，沿着Emergency One提供消防发动机解决方案，牛津郡理事会提供客户输入，试验和传播，将开发和测试到完全的制造就绪水平，一个零排放的氢燃料电池为基础的范围扩展系统的电动传动系统，这是应用于一系列“世界第一”的特殊用途电动汽车解决方案，即救护车，消防车和重型货车道路清扫车。从COP26上展示的原型和测试的ZERRO救护车中学习，它创建了一个工具包和“即插即用”组件模块集，利用大规模生产的丰田Gen2燃料电池动力组，并展示了其灵活性，加速设计过程，性能和实用性，以扩展这些应用的范围。氢气是这些应用中可行的零排放解决方案的关键，特别是紧急响应，因为快速和立即的加油使车辆能够“适合行驶”，并具有工作所需的完全灵活的范围。由于包装限制以及车辆动力传动系统和车载设备所需的整体能源需求，与纯电池电动汽车不同，氢解决方案是过渡到零排放车队的最具成本效益的途径。传统的原始设备制造商并不专注于在满足英国净零目标的时间尺度内为这些应用开发零排放解决方案。该项目使项目合作伙伴和英国专业汽车制造商的供应链增长，因此，在履行英国到2050年的温室气体减排义务方面具有重要的战略意义，并提供相应的清洁增长机会。

This 3.5 year project which is a collaboration led by ULEMCo Ltd, the specialist hydrogen commercial vehicle company, with partners Technical Services (UK) Ltd for cooling capability, Altair Ltd for vehicle energy system modelling, along with Emergency One for the Fire-Engine solutions and Oxfordshire County Council for the customer input, trialling and dissemination, will develop and test to a full manufacturing-readiness level, a zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell based range extension system for electric drivetrains, which is applied to a series of "world-first" special purpose EV vehicle solutions, namely an Ambulance, a Fire-Engine and an HGV Road-Sweeper. Taking the learning from the prototyped and tested ZERRO Ambulance, displayed at COP26, it creates a tool-kit and "plug & play" set of component modules, utilising the mass-produced Toyota Gen2 fuel cell power-pack and demonstrates its flexibility, accelerated design process, performance and utility to extend range for these applications.Hydrogen is essential for viable zero-emission solutions in these applications, particularly emergency response because of the fast and immediate refuelling that enables the vehicle to be "fit-to-go" and have the full flexibility of range required for the job. Due to packaging constraints and the overall energy demand needed for not only the vehicle drivetrains as well as the onboard equipment, unlike battery only EV, hydrogen solutions are the most cost-productive route to transition to zero-emission fleets. The conventional OEMs are not focussed on developing zero-emission solutions for these applications in the timescales that meet the UK's Net-Zero targets. This project, which enables both supply chain growth in the project partners and the UK specialist vehicle manufacturers, is therefore strategically important in delivering the UK's obligations for GHG reduction by 2050, and it's corresponding clean growth opportunity.
