NextGen Fuel-Cell Electric Buses to Accelerate a Low-Carbon Hydrogen Economy (NextGenFCEV)

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市场开发在总拥有成本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。该项目旨在解决竞争的目标，加速开发零尾气排放的燃料电池电动巴士。通过取代现有的柴油车，预计到2031/32年，全球FCEV销量将减少1560万吨二氧化碳和5744万升柴油。新增研发岗位51个，生产岗位2335个(含学徒)。1,035个研发和制造工作岗位将得到保护。该项目有三个具体的主题：1\*开发下一代氢燃料电池电动公交车**具有成本效益、轻量化和模块化，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将与格雷森热系统公司(GTS)和贝尔法斯特女王大学合作，探索最佳的推进、能量存储和热管理配置。运营商通过Translink的输入将指导整体设计、性能、市场要求并进行现场试验2\。**加强英国的组装和制造能力，以规模化地生产零排放技术。**模块化架构(在客车行业中并不常见)将实现更高的批量生产，并降低消费者的商品成本。在Ryse氢气的指导下，安装现场氢气补充和充电基础设施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)开发先进的氢气存储解决方案。3\.**引入“氢卓越中心”，以支持英国的技能提升和知识共享。**该中心将建立在莱特巴斯和昆士兰大学之间强大的学术联系基础上，以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。将在英国开展低成本、低碳氢燃料生产途径的可行性研究。随着技术转移到客车、卡车和越野应用，进一步的创新和合作研究将成为可能。Ryse氢还将利用该中心与昆士兰大学合作，进行一项研究，以降低英国绿色氢气的产品成本。

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.
