The CHIC project is a flagship zero emission bus project demonstrating the readiness of fuel cell electric buses for widespread commercial deployment, thus offering a solution for cities to decarbonise their public transport fleet and tackle local air pollution. CHIC involves 23 partners from 8...

AutoStack-CORE established a coalition with the objective to develop best-of-its-class automotive stack hardware with superior power density and performance while meeting commercial target cost. The project consortium combines the expertise of OEMs, component suppliers, system integrators, and...

PACE is a major initiative aimed at ensuring the European mCHP sector makes the next move to mass market commercialisation. The project will deploy a total of 2,650 new fuel cell microCHP units with real customers and monitor them for an extended period. This will: Enable fuel cell mCHP...

Produce 13 engineering studies to define optimal designs, H2 supply routes, commercial arrangements and practicalities involved in refuelling high volumes of H2 at busy bus depots across Europe. Conclude on the cost and practical issues associated with hydrogen refuelling at a very large scale...

The overall project objective is to prove that the hybrid fuel cell bus is capable of meeting the operational performance of an equivalent diesel bus in long route operation whilst offering significant benefits in terms of OPEX and environmental performance. The project will also address bus...

H2ME 2 brings together actions in 8 countries in a 6-year collaboration to deploy over 1,100 fuel cell (FC) vehicles and 20 new hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS). The project will perform a large-scale market test of a large fleet of FC electric vehicles operated in real-world customer...

Hydrogen Mobility Europe (H2ME) brings together Europe's four most ambitious national initiatives on hydrogen mobility (from Germany, Scandinavia, France and the UK). The project will expand their developing networks of Hydrogen Refuelling Stations (HRS) - 29 new stations will be deployed - and...

As 2018 marks the 10-year anniversary of the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU), it is inspiring to look back over the many accomplishments of the past decade. The projects described in these pages illustrate the approach of continuous learning exemplified by the FCH JU's...
