This webinar will bring together practical experience from the Aberdeen hydrogen bus project and lessons learned during HyTrEc and HyTrEc2 (Hydrogen Transport Economy for the North Sea) projects. How can public and private actors help create the conditions for hydrogen to be viable for vehicle suppliers, infrastructure providers and end users? What can we learn from recent trials and deployments?
The event is chaired by Fergus Worthy of Cenex and includes presentations from Nigel Holmes of SHFCA, Andrew Win of Aberdeen City Council, and Nick McCarthy of Cenex. This event will also include Q&A session with the speakers. Register here: https://www.cenex.co.uk/events/

In addition to the buses and ACC’s hydrogen vehicles in Aberdeen, HyTrEc2 has also supported the development of the Co-Wheels car club Toyota Mirais. To promote the use of the HyTrEc2 FCEV Toyota Mirais, Co-Wheels recently decided to waive the joining and annual fee, this gives users a saving up to £85. SHFCA members are leading the way and 'learning by doing' with projects in locations including Aberdeen, Fife, the Western Isles, and the Orkney Islands. The expanding hydrogen bus fleet in Aberdeen has clearly shown the value of building on the lessons learned since March 2015 when the bus fleet started its regular scheduled passenger service.
Projects such as the FCH JU supported Aberdeen hydrogen bus fleet have built up experience and understanding which can now help others to progress opportunities for the development and deployment of low carbon transport technologies.
