HEIDI: Hydrogen Electric Integrated Drivetrain Initiative

“海蒂：氢电集成动力传动系统倡议”项目将开发一种氢燃料电池双层巴士，使用英国开发的创新、低成本燃料电池技术。这种燃料电池巴士只会排放水。氢燃料电池技术对我们的公共交通脱碳和改善城镇空气质量至关重要。这种燃料电池是由Bramble能源公司开发的，基于他们的专利保护技术，使用印刷电路板工业的制造工艺来生产燃料电池。Bramble Energy将与Aeristech合作开发用于燃料电池的高效空气压缩机，而Equipmake将为公交车开发电机、电力电子设备和电池管理系统。巴斯大学也将通过车辆模拟来支持该项目，以优化燃料电池-电池混合动力系统的性能。HEIDI项目的英国财团将支持英国公共汽车和商用车的燃料电池制造，并使用一种新颖的低成本方法来制造燃料电池，这将加速燃料电池成本的降低，它们在整个社会中的使用，并减少二氧化碳的排放。

The HEIDI: Hydrogen Electric Integrated Drivetrain Initiative project will develop a hydrogen fuel cell double-deck bus, using innovative, low-cost fuel cell technology developed in the UK. This fuel cell bus will only emit water. Hydrogen fuel cell technology is crucial to decarbonizing our public transport and improving air quality in our towns and cities. The fuel cell has been developed by Bramble Energy, and is based on their patent protected technology using the manufacturing process from the printed circuit board industry to produce fuel cells. Bramble Energy will work with Aeristech to develop a high efficiency air compressor for the fuel cell and Equipmake who will develop motor, power electronics and battery management system for the bus. The University of Bath will also support this project through vehicle simulations to optimize the performance of the fuel cell-battery hybrid powertrain.The UK based consortium in the HEIDI project will support fuel cell manufacturing in the UK for buses and commercial vehicles and, using a novel, low-cost method to manufacture fuel cells will accelerate the cost reduction of fuel cells, their use across society and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
