How Clean are EVs

There’s no doubt that EVs are much cleaner and friendlier to be around than anything powered by an internal combustion engine, as they produce no local emissions (writes Peter Donaldson). They also use energy more efficiently in stop-go traffic, particularly when fitted with regenerative braking systems. Even petrol-diesel electric hybrids allow the engine to be...

Volume plan for hydrogen cells

In a key move for hydrogen-powered electric technology, Bosch is starting volume production of fuel cell systems for electric vehicles using technology from Powercell (writes Nick Flaherty). The two companies will jointly develop polymer-electrolyte membrane stacks for fuel cells that convert hydrogen to electricity, and Bosch will make the stacks under licence in 2022. Bosch, a...

Hydrogen fuel cells

There is something of an ongoing debate in the world of e-mobility as to hydrogen’s place in the energy ecosystem (writes Lawrence Butcher). While manufacturers such as Toyota are throwing their weight behind the fuel, and actively marketing fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs), others such as...
