Fuel Cells and
Green Hydrogen offer a long term solution to sustainable zero emission
motoring, provided that a delivery system accompanies any range extending
solution, that is capable of of giving us the infrastructure we need for a
mobility circular
economy.

BACKGROUND AND FURTHER INFORMATION
Investment in R&D is key to the government’s mission of putting the UK at the forefront of the design, manufacture and use of ZEVs. These technologies can help deliver the transport decarbonisation goals and anchor economic activity across the UK.
The Government is going further and faster to decarbonise transport by phasing out the sale of new
petrol and
diesel cars and vans by 2030, and, from 2035, all new cars and vans must be zero emissions at the tailpipe
Addressing these challenges through innovation, will support delivery of the UK’s ambitious phase out dates and net zero objectives. This list of examples is not intended to be exhaustive.
Challenge 1 –Improve ZEV range capability
- electric powertrains that deliver higher vehicle range and zero emission capability -
highly disruptive zero emission technologies that significantly increase the efficiency of the vehicle powertrain or auxiliary systems -
hydrogen technologies that focus on fuel cell development or the use of
hydrogen for the production of
electricity -
advanced power electronics, machines and drives that support higher vehicle range -
lightweight technologies that significantly reduced weight and hence increase vehicle range Challenge 2 - Increase adoption of small commercial ZEVs
- fleet solutions, including service and home delivery, that improve operational performance or total cost of ownership -
zero emission pick-up trucks and attributable on vehicle technology Challenge 3 - Support transition to zero emission for special use vehicles
- ZEV technologies specific for blue light vehicles, pickup recovery and low-loaders, refuse collection
vehicles Challenge 4 – Improve ZEV user experience
- technologies which address mobility challenges faced by users with specific accessibility requirements such as disabled drivers -
innovation addressing road-side recovery for ZEVs such as EV towing -
innovation which will support second-hand ZEV uptake such as vehicle health monitoring technologies -
innovative solutions for breaker systems and motors which improve towing of loads e.g. in caravans -
caravan technologies that help increases the range or capability of ZEVs -
zero emission technologies for motorhomes -
all-terrain ZEV solutions which deliver parity with existing combustion vehicles Challenge 5 –Improve sustainability of ZEVs

FUEL -
Service stations like
that above, are not needed for the
proposed onboard range extending kits for
trucks and vans, but in the longer term such off-board facilities could
provide the infrastructure solution to comply with the Automated and
Electric Vehicles Act 2018.
