A hydrogen-fuel cell electrical cargo bike trial is being launched in Aberdeen.
The bikes are made by Oxfordshire based mostly producer Electric Assisted Vehicles (EAV), who’re constructing six eCargo bikes for the venture, which is ready to begin in 2022.
The trial has been arrange to assist collect new perception in the usage of hydrogen fuel cell automobiles for last-mile deliveries.
EAV says it has developed its bikes as a result of it has issues over the burden of battery-powered automobiles, in addition to the true environmental influence of them.
“It’s a simple fact that the raw materials for battery production are in short supply.” stated Adam Barmby, CEO and founding father of EAV.
“EAV focuses on weight reduction, so we use less energy and therefore require less batteries.”
The EVAH2Cubed eCargo bike that can be used in the trial incorporates the fuel cell in its powertrain, utilizing the electrical energy generated to cost a small variety of batteries. The solely emission because of the hydrogen being created is water.
“The Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps, recently delivered a speech at the Dubai Expo 2020 stating that the UK will be taking a global lead in developing hydrogen-powered transport.” stated Nigel Gordon-Stewart, govt chairman of EAV.
“Nowhere is the use of hydrogen fuel cells in lightweight vehicles more effective than within the urban environment.”
