How To Solve The Challenge Of Zero Emissions Vehicles

Climate change is the critical issue of our times. We’ve got to find the solutions now to some of the most difficult challenges we face in our transition away from fossil fuels. As we race to decarbonise the global economy, Cleantech engineering has never been more important.

The development of zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) is vital to maintaining the global economy and is a challenge that requires a complex series of solutions to meet growing global demand. Fossil fuels in transport will not be replaced with a single, one-size-fits-all alternative.

In this whitepaper we will look at vehicle electrification to understand the underlying issues facing engineers as they develop solutions for zero emissions vehicles. We will understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of lithium-ion batteries and fuel cell technologies for powering electric vehicles. Finally, we will put forward a view for how frame the jobs to be done in electrifying transportation so that as cleantech engineers we open up our range of possibilities and future

solutions.
