Ricardo has created a hydrogen-fuelled research engine which could offer a renewable, economic and durable technology solution to accelerate zero carbon emissions in heavy duty trucks, off-highway machines and marine vessels.

Designed to leverage and extend Ricardo’s expertise in building solutions to support zero emission mobility, this new facility will form part of a global centre of excellence for hydrogen, defossilised fuels and electrified transport engineering.

In this free webinar, Andrea Trevisan, Trevor Downes and Dr Cedric Rouaud from Ricardo discuss the company’s approach to developing hydrogen combustion engine and hydrogen fuel cell systems using virtual product development (VPD), advanced control and tests.

Planned new test facility at Ricardo will help bring forward the development of hydrogen powered vehicles as an emission-free and more environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuel use.

Ricardo is working with London South Bank University in a project addressed at development of an innovative method of storing hydrogen on fuel cell buses.

The prototype, called the Hydroflex, made a 25-mile round trip through Warwickshire and Worcestershire, reaching speeds of up to 50 mph.

Exploring the viability for battery-powered trains on low-traffic routes. In 2018 we produced a research report to explore the potential for introducing battery-powered trains on sections of national networks where low traffic means full electrification is not feasible.

HydroFLEX is the UK's the first hydrogen-powered train to operate on its network. In September 2020 the first HydroFLEX unit successfully started the first phase of mainline testing, achieving top speeds of 50mph.

Ricardo has been invited to join other leading global marine organisations to help to deliver the world’s first commercially viable zero emissions sea going vessel

Ocean Conservancy has released a new report, prepared by Ricardo, that presents a compelling case for the widespread adoption of ‘electrofuels’ to transition the international shipping industry from being one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gas emissions to a zero-carbon future.

Ricardo and the European Marine Energy Centre (EMEC) are supporting the delivery of a new solar powered hydrogen production facility which is being developed as part of feasibility funding from the Rural Community Energy Fund.

A new paper ‘Sailing on Solar’, commissioned by Environmental Defense Fund Europe and developed by Ricardo, presents a vision of how international shipping can meet its target of at least halving emissions by 2050 – while also helping developing nations benefit from the emerging clean energy economy.
