HVS (Hydrogen Vehicle Systems)

We were delighted to host a visit by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) to our R&D centre at MIRA yesterday. As we scale up the development, testing and manufacture of our ground-up design hydrogen-electric fuel cell vehicles, we were able to share the incredible progress Team HVS has made in the last 18 months, and to discuss some of the technical and legislative challenges faced by alternative fuel truck OEMs aiming to introduce zero-emission commercial vehicles to the market. We were also privileged to hear first hand from a major fleet operator, Explore Plant and Transport Solutions, some of the challenges they too are facing when making important strategic decisions to decarbonise their heavy commercial fleet and would like to thank Mike Hawes, Will Reeves and Chris G. from Explore for the positive and open discussions. We are looking forward to all working together to help achieve our net zero targets. #HVStrucks #zeroemissionvehicle #hydrogenfuelcell #commercialvehicle #hydrogentechnology

That's a wrap! Our incredible team of engineers, supply chain colleagues and manufacturing experts have delivered four AP (Attribute Prototype) vehicles in record time, and we would like to give a massive shout-out to all our amazing partners who have supported us with the build: Advanced Propulsion Centre UK, Fablink Group , HSSMI and Innovate UK. We continue to hit our milestones to deliver the first hydrogen-electric fuel cell vehicle built from the ground up here in the UK and are looking forward to sharing our future steps to support the transition to Net Zero. #HVStrucks #zeroemissionvehicle #hydrogenfuelcell #commercialvehicle #hydrogentechnology

We are thrilled to announce that HVS has been shortlisted for not one, not two, but three prestigious CILT (UK) Awards for Excellence 2024! Our cutting-edge, hydrogen fuel cell technology and environmental stewardship have earned us a spot as a finalist in both the Technology Innovation, and Environmental Improvement categories. Finally, we want to extend a special congratulations to our Head of Supply Chain and Sustainability, Kathryn Charman MSc, who has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious Rising Star category. With a First-Class Masters degree in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and the distinguished Vice-Chancellor's Scholarship, Kathryn’s leadership at HVS has been instrumental in optimising supply chain operations while championing sustainability. We are incredibly proud of Kathryn and the entire HVS team for their relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation, and we look forward to the awards ceremony later this year. #CILTAwards

It was good to introduce HVS today to Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands, at The Midlands Economic Summit 2024. What a great opportunity to talk to all stakeholders about the future of the Midlands region in an ever-increasingly competitive global landscape. Some great networking and lots of interesting discussions, with Ian Palmer, Karen Preston, and Chandila F., Innovate UK

On the final day of #RTX2024, we are delighted to announce that Explore Plant and Transport Solutions has signed a Partnership Agreement with HVS for the supply of 30 HVS hydrogen fuel cell tractor units for deployment by Explore across their UK fleet. Chris G. Operations Director for Explore says, “It is our firm belief that Hydrogen-electric fuel cell vehicles are set to revolutionise long-haul trucking and meet the heavy demands of the construction logistics sector, providing a clean alternative to traditional diesel engines. These new HVS units will significantly reduce Explore’s carbon footprint, and this Agreement underscores our commitment to advancing green technology within our business. We are excited to be collaborating with HVS to achieve this transition.” John McLeister FCILT, Chief Commercial Officer for HVS, comments, “This landmark Partnership Agreement is testament to our shared vision of a sustainable future. Our innovative, zero-emission fuel cell technology provides fleet operators with the heavier payloads, longer range and faster refuelling required of modern logistics operations seeking to decarbonise their fleets. We are looking forward to working with Chris and his team as we both aim to lead the logistics industry in sustainability.” Read the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/gAUPU-rj #RTX2024 #HVStrucks #zeroemissionvehicle #hydrogenfuelcell #commercialvehicle #hydrogentechnology
