While electric battery vehicles are becoming a popular alternative to motorised vehicles, they still face some challenges in terms of range, cost, and limited charging infrastructure in some cities. Hydrogen fuel cell batteries could help to tackle these challenges.

A consortia comprised of industry, local government and research partners will explore their use in urban light-duty electric vehicles. As such, the project aims to demonstrate its advantages by retrofitting a battery electric vehicle (BEV) and converting it into a hydrogen battery electric vehicle.
