The Hydrogen Transport in European Cities (HyTEC) consortium presented the findings of a four year initiative to develop demonstration projects for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at an international press conference held at City Hall in London on Tuesday. A key objective of the study was to understand how best to develop infrastructure networks, and this has led to a focus on strategic clustering to encourage the sustained growth of the hydrogen transport sector. “Europe is one of the most important markets for hydrogen vehicles, with more than half of all new cars sold there last year,” said Professor David Bailey, Director General of the University of Strathclyde
The Hydrogen Transport in European Cities (HyTEC) consortium presented the findings of a four year initiative to develop demonstration projects for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at an international press conference held at City Hall in London on Tuesday. A key objective of the study was to understand how best to develop infrastructure networks, and this has led to a focus on strategic clustering to encourage the sustained growth of the hydrogen transport sector. Trials of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles took place in London, Copenhagen and Oslo during the demonstration period, and anecdotal evidence collected by the consortium was largely positive, with 80% of drivers involved in the Copenhagen trial stating they had preferred driving the FCVs to traditional cars.
