“政府最近宣布的英国解决路边二氧化氮浓度的计划，重点是在尽可能短的时间内提供更清洁的空气，使英国成为空气质量的全球领导者。即将出台的《自动化和电动汽车法案》将推动必要的基础设施变革，以支持电动汽车的快速更新。轻型商用车（LCV）是增长最快的细分市场之一，这得益于更复杂的在线购物行为和越来越多的客户收集选择。最后一英里送货车辆的激增并非巧合，因为零售商找到了吸引消费者的创新方法。为了满足更清洁的空气要求，运输车辆需要减少排放。日产，Ceres Power和焊接研究所（TWI）已经创建了一个合作的工业研发项目联盟。该联盟旨在展示一种紧凑，高功率密度，低排放的固体氧化物燃料电池（SOFC），采用日产领先的系统设计，用于轻型商用电动汽车（LCEV）的续航里程扩展，如日产e-NV200\。为了将示范BEV的续航里程增加一倍，达到600公里以上，该联盟将为电动汽车续航里程的扩展提供创新的解决方案。该解决方案最大限度地减少了对有效载荷或容量的影响，同时最大限度地增加了交付时间和创收的潜力。在日产设计的增程模块中，适用于使用各种高效燃料类型（包括生物燃料），项目范围将涉及设计，建造，测试和演示紧凑，坚固，快速响应，英国生产的SOFC堆栈。该项目旨在通过将LCEV的续航里程增加一倍来提高电动汽车的市场吸引力，从而实现长时间运行而无需从电网充电。这种极具破坏性的方法支持英国更广泛地使用电动汽车，并平等地获得欧盟轻型商用车年销量140万辆的市场份额。此外，LCEV的广泛采用使英国在实现2030-50年低碳能源目标方面取得了重大进展。该项目将提高英国工程师和技术人员在设计、建造和测试SOFC电池组和系统方面的技能和能力。"

"The Government's recently announced UK plan for tackling roadside nitrogen dioxide concentrations focuses on delivering cleaner air in the shortest time possible that will enable the UK to become a global leader in air quality. The forthcoming Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill will drive necessary infrastructure changes to support rapid update of electric vehicles.Light commercial vehicles (LCVs) are one of the fastest growing market segments driven by more sophisticated online shopping behaviours and increasing options for customer collection. The proliferation of last mile delivery vehicles is no coincidence as retailers find innovative ways of attracting consumers. To satisfy cleaner air requirements, delivery vehicles will need to reduce their emissions.Nissan, Ceres Power and The Welding Institute (TWI) have created a collaborative industrial R&D project consortium. This consortium aims to demonstrate a compact, high power density, low emission solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) with Nissan leading system design for range extension of light commercial electric vehicles (LCEV) such as the Nissan e-NV200\. With a goal to double the range of the demonstrator BEV to over 600km, the consortium will offer an innovative solution to electric vehicle range extension. This solution minimises impact on payload or capacity whilst maximising the potential to increase time spent making deliveries and generating revenue.Within a Nissan designed range extender module suitable for operation with a variety of high efficiency fuel types (including biofuels), the project scope will involve the design, build, test and demonstration of a compact, robust, fast-response, UK produced SOFC stack. The project looks to raise the market attractiveness of EV by doubling LCEV range to enable long periods of operation without electrical recharge from the grid.This highly disruptive approach supports the UK's move towards greater use of electric vehicles and access, on an equal footing, the 1.4 million annual EU sales of light commercial vehicles. Furthermore, the wider scale adoption of LCEVs makes significant progress towards the UK's 2030-50 low carbon energy targets. The project will grow the skills and capabilities of UK engineers and technicians for design, build and testing of SOFC stack and systems."
