“We are already working on hydrogen and fuel cell technology, providing clean efficient solutions which reduce carbon and noxious emissions across a wide range of sectors,” said Steve Dyke, managing director, Ricardo Automotive and Industrial EMEA Division. “Our work for the Fresson consortium will enable us to consolidate and grow our hydrogen fuel cell and propulsion capability, so that Ricardo can achieve its ambition of becoming a world-leader in hydrogen and fuel cell services and solutions and help accelerate net zero transportation.”

Innovatus Technologies has developed a ‘next generation’ ultra-lightweight hydrogen tank that exploits patented cellular core composite techniques and is described by CAeS as ‘critical to the successful integration and exploitation of hydrogen fuel cell power systems’.
