Energy Systems & Storage in Transport – considering Hydrogen
16 February 2023 at 10.30hrs GMT
The move to decarbonise our transportation networks requires a considerable change to our existing systems and way of implementation, the adoption of new and possibly disruptive technologies and, importantly, a need for more / new engineers to make the changes a reality. While the move to battery electric vehicles is accelerating, the range restrictions and recharge limitations of current electric vehicle battery technologies is fostering greater interest in fuel cell and fuel cell - battery hybrids, particularly for larger urban and intercity vehicles. Our presenters will share their experiences in fuel cell systems for transportation.
