Electric truck operators are anything but silent!

Will, have a chat with Sid Sadique - he is working hard on EV CM. Some interesting work.

Well said Dave T. at Tevva. Hypuljet is a concept for a Hydrogen Zero emissions Rotary Engine Generator will be AC 3 phase at size needed for what ever type and size of vehicle. It will be the central element for a Hydrogen Zero Emissions Power Unit. Hypuljet Integrated Power Unit will be open to installation form new, however we see that there are hundreds of millions of Trucks and commercial diesel Vans which have life spans of 10 to 15 years at least and we are clear that the OEMs and Auto makers have a duty to retrofit their own vehicles to take a Proactive approach to decarbonising the Global Transport Fleet In this way Govt funding would be put to better more effective use than waiting for vehicles to be traded in. Yes Dave you do well to question the direction being taken yet again. Existing systems and technology has been in play for at least 10 years and if we are honest it simply has not made the grade. Hey oh, it isnt the H2FCs No we havent got enough hydrogen or Fill points, so people arent buying the FCEVs. Over ￡50,000 compared to similar petrol vehicle - No brainer for a private buyer. How many CEOs of Companies with H2 in title have a H2 FCEV as family cars ??? Hypuljet being a rotary engine will have a similar price tag to the equivalent IC engine certainly not as many parts. As mad as you may wish to think, we intend to have Low voltage H2-O2 production in a Flow type system on demand from the engine. After 5 years I gave up on the UK R&D and funding I approached Berlin Technical University and within a few days and looking the details of the 3 out of date UK Patent Applications and verbal of 2020 version they agreed in principle to carry out initial modelling with a view to the full development. That was 9 months ago and forming a German Company an uG = Development company is worlds apart from on line applications in UK Covid has blocked the director going home to sign docs. HyPuljet Ltd UK and we are about to start a Crowd Funding Bid, because to be clear Govt funding requires too many hoops to be jumped through and is designed for well funded companies Individual innovators are disenfranchised by the rules. You will need to join with a company - Companies do not reply --beyond control. Dave the ￡100 million funding Yes thats fine, But support for new innovation and Vision and Outside the box thinking, is essential and sorry there is not much of any around in the circles which control the funding 2017 sorry your H2 concept is not at the right TRL --- so we will spend ￡12 mill on Low carbon petrol Mental Innovate UK ￡3.5 mill at 50% to Daimler to cut 17% emissions from diesel coaches = ￡7 mill How many diesel coaches have Mercedes produced in the past few years ... Hydrogen Zero emissions concept Cannot enter competitions because cannot meet the rules Innovation or business plan .. Bad news people try wallpapering over the Global warming with BPs

Or that they'll be back in the depot with a flat battery after a couple of hours whilst the diesels finish the days work

I'm guessing you're aiming to provoke a bit of debate here - so happy to contribute... Is your point that operators are cynically paying lip service or that the electric / low-entry / alt fuel vehicles aren't up to doing 'the hard work'? - or possibly something more nuanced? As I see it, the incumbent OEMs have the capital and human resources to accelerate change but choose to continue doing what they've always done Conversely, the disruptors, such as #Tevva are working flat-out to bring change but can go only as fast as resources allow. My experience is that if the product is there, the fleets will take it - and in volume. The answer is that we need massive capital influx into the disruptors to enable rapid scale-up - that's what will generate the needed step-change. Lets not forget, we have nine-and-a-half years left the keep the warming to +2C.
