Hydrogen-powered delivery vehicles to be trialled in Aberdeen
Date: Tuesday, December 14, 2021 | Author: Sean Keywood
Six hydrogen-powered EAVH2Cubed delivery vehicles are to be trialled for last-mile deliveries in Aberdeen.
The programme using the delivery bikes has received investment from the European Union and Scottish Government, and is being managed by the German Aerospace Centre, while partners in the project include DPD Group, H2Range, Unicorn Energy, Energy Expo, and Brussels University.
The trial programme will start next year.
EAV executive chairman Nigel Gordon-Stewart said: “Nowhere is the use of hydrogen fuel cells in lightweight vehicles more effective than within the urban environment.
“The mid and last mile in goods transport are the two key areas which create a significant proportion of traffic volume and emissions in towns and cities.
“It’s this critical area that EAV is concentrating on with its range of transport future vision vehicles, the EAV2Cubed and the EAV LINCS. We plan to offer both vehicles with a proven hydrogen solution.
“The City of Aberdeen Hydrogen eCargo project is a first stepping-stone towards the commercialisation of green hydrogen through EAV’s urban hydrogen transport strategy.”
