HydrogenA practical route to low carbon propulsion for

commercial vehicles, the myths and truths

LCV 2017 September 6th & 7th 2017Amanda Lyne

Why we need options NOW

• Air quality zones will be place by 2019 (that’s <2 years!)• High levels of political pressure on CO2 reduction

• Evident lack of delivery in transport sector, particularly freight andcommercial vehicles

• Action needed now to enable delivery of 2030 targets (allowing for fleetrenewal process)

• Help deliver competitiveness globally (Industrial strategy and cleangrowth)

The Commercial vehicle owner’s dilemma

What if the current pressureto address air quality meansthat my diesel vehicles getbanned or at least I have topay “fines” to use them in thecity ?

Our customers are asking us tooffer solutions that reduce carbonemissions, such that I fear wewill loose business if you don'tstay ahead

The finance director is badgeringme about diesel costs already, soI need to find something thatmakes financial sense

I need to advise the businesson the fleet replacementsnow, and ensure thatwhatever I suggest will beviable for the next 10 yearsof it’s life

The options:

100% BiogasWill I be able toget reliablesupplies of enough“Bio” sourced fuel

100% CNGDoesn’t save a lotof CO2 emissions;infrastructure islimited

ElectricMainly prototypes,and the value formoney on theemission saving isunclear

EURO VIWill thestandardchange, again,before the 10years are up?

The benefit of hydrogen dual-fuel The best way to reduce carbon emissions

Available now, using known technology

Mitigation for the future

Best value for money in terms of emission saving

Delivers results for urban driving without compromise forother circumstances

Make your own fuel from renewables

Myth 1: Hydrogen might be possible “in thefuture” but not now

TRUTH:• Commercial vehicles being used daily at all the H2

refuelling stations across the UK• Nearly 30 vans on the road in the UK• 2 Ford Rangers (4*4)• 2 Refuse Truck HGVs completed & two on

order• 1 Arctic Truck in Canada & one on the way in

the UK• 2 Inland water way marine barges in

Continental Europe• Plus Symbio RE Kangoo’s• Plus – 11 more UK by early 2018 & Our FC Rx

eNV200

Refuse Trucks

DAF - Grundon

Merc Econic

EURO 6 Vans

Myth 2: There’s no infrastructure for refuellingReally - there are more than you think!

Myth 3: Making hydrogen is inefficient &therefore doesn’t improve CO2TRUTH• Dual Fuel:

• Customers can achieve 66% lower CO2emissions saves 2.9 tes for every 10,000miles driven

• Well to wheel saving up to 62%depending on the source of the H2

• Fuel Cell• < 46% efficient• Combined with regenerative breaking

Very “efficient” routes to H2 Generation

• Mega watt scale production on Orkney

• Bi-product H2 from Industrial sources

• Local generation at Levenmouth

Myth 4: Hydrogen technologies are too expensivefor commercial vehiclesTRUTH• Heavy use vehicles will use more H2

• More miles• More mpg equivalent• Leads to reduced cost for technology and infrastructure

• H2ICED® has 100,000’s of miles with little maintenance requirement

• Back to base fleets can be planned and infrastructure requirementsoptimised

In summary• Hydrogen dual fuel:

• Deliver SIGNFICANT carbon dioxide emissionreduction

• Meets or exceed Air Quality emissions• Proven technology• Diesel is always available if H2 is not• Ultra Low Emissions are feasible within the next 5

years for all types of vehicle• Fuel Cell technologies are available

Hydrogen for commercial vehicles are available and viable
