Are the wheels coming off the BEV juggernaut?
Consumers are sending the message that, on their own, BEVs do not offer a broad enough solution to replacing petrol and diesel engined vehicles. We need a stronger commitment to hydrogen, which offers advantages over BEVs in many applications, especially when range and carrying capacity are important.
Hydrogen’s Goldrush?
White hydrogen could be as common as oil or gas and could revolutionise our use of energy
A New Year’s Resolution for the Automotive Industry: Must lose weight…
Zero emissions vehicles are essential , but let’s not fall into the trap of accepting oversized, over-weight vehicles as a consequence, when hydrogen powertrains offer a way to deliver weight parity with combustion-engined vehicles.
Viritech powertrain solutions can reduce the weight penalty of a battery-electric alternative by 90%.
F1’s CTO Pat Symonds enters Hydrogen debate
Pat Symonds, the CTO of Formula 1, has written on the future of hydrogen. Viritech responds to his comments relating to hydrogen propulsion, fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and the future of zero-emissions, sustainable transport.
“Hard to Decarbonise” Sectors: How Hydrogen Simplifies the Problem
Viritech is pioneering solutions for hydrogen powertrains. Hydrogen fuel cell cars, vans and trucks with the same weight and range as an equivalent petrol or diesel.
A Third of Drivers Don't Want a BEV - But are They Aware of the Alternatives?
People want a zero-emission car that costs the same and is as easy to fill up with energy as a conventional petrol or diesel model. They just don’t see BEVs being able to achieve those goals anytime soon. The obvious answer is hydrogen - both hydrogen combustion and hydrogen fuel cell.
Trucks are facing their own obesity epidemic
Battery electric (BEV) trucks carry less payload for shorter distances. Viritech is developing a fuel cell (FCEV) powertrain for HGVs that will weigh almost the same as a diesel equivalent and have the same range.
Shape up or ship out: How to decarbonise marine craft
Viritech is develop zero emission solutions for leisure boats and commercial shipping using advanced fuel cell hydrogen powertrains
Fuel Cell Production: Look out batteries – there’s a train coming…
The tectonic plates are shifting. Manufacturers are gearing up right now for fuel cell production, which provides the perfect opportunity for Viritech as a leading developer of fuel cell powertrain solutions.
WHY DID THE UK PAY £500 MILLION TO SWITCH OFF WIND TURBINES LAST YEAR? GREEN HYDROGEN CAN SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
The UK Government is proud of the UK’s position as the world-leader in offshore wind turbines - the UK generated 25% of its electricity from this zero-carbon source last year. However, there is an inconvenient truth behind this major achievement.
WHY REFUELLING WITH HYDROGEN WILL BE CHEAPER THAN FILLING UP WITH PETROL
Energy prices are very much on people’s minds currently and hydrogen is moving to centre stage in terms of plans for energy security in the US and in Europe, so let’s take a look at what this might mean in terms of impacting the cost of driving.
WE NEED A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION - IT STARTS WITH ENERGY STATIONS
We need a holistic approach to Sustainable Transportation – it starts with Energy Stations
There has been a debate about hydrogen’s role in transportation since the 1990s.
