Coventry University, along with spin-out Microcab, due to demonstrate zero-emission hydrogen fuel car.
Coventry University and its spin-out Microcab are due to demonstrate a hydrogen fuel-cell car next week in Birmingham where its only exhaust emission is water.
The car, H2EV, is a part of the world’s largest hydrogen fuel cell trial which was launched in Europe this summer. The EU-funded SWARM project will see a fleet of 90 hydrogen-powered cars complete a three-year development programme in the UK, Belgium, and Germany. A part of the trial will be conducted by Birmingham City Council, Coventry University, and the University of Birmingham as they use the H2EV vehicle in day-to-day situations.
Bernard Porter, director of low carbon vehicle programmes at Coventry University, said, “We’re delighted to have this opportunity to exhibit at the Automotive Engineering Show with Microcab and to play such a prominent role in showcasing the UK’s cutting-edge expertise in low carbon transport development.”
