Develop hydrogen powered bus technology
in order to reduce the consumption of fuel and energy in the
whole transportation system. |
|
 |
Develop efficient and environmentally 'friendly'
ways to produce hydrogen. |
|
 |
Research the technology and development
needs to establish a hydrogen refueling infrastructure. |
|
 |
Inform the community and key decision-makers
about the potential advantages of a hydrogen-based transport
system and how they can help to develop it. |
|
Operation of 33 hydrogen fuel cell (FC) powered
buses in 9 cities around the world - Amsterdam, Barcelona, Beijing,
Hamburg, London, Luxembourg, Madrid, Perth, Reykjavik |
|
|
Operation of 14 hydrogen powered internal
combustion engine (ICE) buses in Berlin |
|
|
Design, construction and testing of the
next generation of fuel cell and internal combustion engine
buses |
|
|
Development and testing of a new hydrogen refueling infrastructure
including an integrated refuelling station with gaseous hydrogen
produced from Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and bio DME (Di Methyl
Ether produced from biomass) and stationary fuel cells powering
the site |
|
|
Development, optimization and testing
of existing hydrogen infrastructure |
|
|
Analysing and predicting public opinion
on the risks and advantages of hydrogen and hydrogen powered
transport systems |
 |     
HyFLEET:CUTE will see the operation of 47 Hydrogen powered buses in regular public transport service in 10 cities on three continents.
The project brings together 31 partners from industry, Government, academic and consulting organisations. Some of the worlds' leading automotive and technology development companies, major energy companies, policy developers and transport operators are collaborating to lead Europe into the development of the Twenty second Century hydrogen-based transport system of the future.
HyFLEET:CUTE has been established under and is financially supported by the European Commission's 6th Framework Research Programme . The European Union's Energy Policy aims at diversifying and security energy sources while reducing CO2 (Carbon Di Oxide - a gas that contributes to the world's Climate Change) and other emissions harmful to the environment and human health. Hydrogen is a key element in this future strategy for road transport.
