Hydrogen is stored in three high-pressure fuel tanks, giving the prototype Hilux an expected driving range of more than 600 km. The project, supported by UK Government funding, is shared with Ricardo.

The programme, namely ZEFES, is co-funded by the European Commission and brings together five truck and two trailer OEMs. By 2025, it aims to deliver nine different vehicles running over one million kilometres across EU corridors in real daily operations, all guided and validated by a digital platfo...

The facility has been designed to leverage and extend Ricardo’s capabilities and expertise in building expertise in zero emissions mobility solutions. It will form part of a global centre of excellence for hydrogen, defossilised fuels and electrified transport engineering.

Ricardo has been developing a rare-earth magnet-free sustainable electric motor concept with aluminium stator windings, which retains the key attributes of magnet-rich motors. The goal has been to create technology which is robust, costs less than current products and reduces lifecycle impact by eli...

We had a chat with Josh Dalby, Chief Engineer Technology Strategy, and Chief Engineer Trevor Downes about the requirements of light- to heavy-duty commercial vehicles, also mentioning some of the latest project carried out by the global engineering company.
