Intelligent Energy's Hydrogen Innovations for Sustainable Transportation
Key Ideas
- Intelligent Energy specializes in developing and manufacturing lightweight hydrogen fuel cell products, including the IE-DRIVE HD100 system for buses, trucks, and other motive applications.
- The ICEBreaker project, in collaboration with Viritech and Horiba Mira, aims to create a more efficient and cost-effective hydrogen fuel cell HGV for manufacturers and operators by 2024.
- The project targets mass parity with diesel powertrains, offering a solution to decarbonize the 500,000 HGVs currently operating on UK roads and reduce transport emissions.
- Hydrogen fuel cells present a promising alternative to battery electric trucks, offering a more commercially viable solution with higher payload capacity and lower revenue loss.
Intelligent Energy, based in Loughborough with global offices, specializes in developing lightweight hydrogen fuel cell products ranging from 800W to 300kW+ for various sectors like automotive, aerospace, and telecoms. The IE-DRIVE HD100 system provides up to 100kW of continuous power, ideal for road-certified integration into buses, trucks, and other applications. Through the ICEBreaker project, Intelligent Energy collaborates with Viritech and Horiba Mira to develop a next-generation hydrogen fuel cell HGV for manufacturers by late 2024. This project aims to achieve mass parity with diesel powertrains, offering a solution to decarbonize the 500,000 HGVs on UK roads. By optimizing hydrogen powertrain architecture, the project targets a commercially-viable total cost of ownership for operators, reducing transport emissions and revenue loss. Hydrogen fuel cells are positioned as a promising alternative to battery electric trucks, providing higher payload capacity and cost-effectiveness for sustainable transportation solutions.
