Vehicles powered by green hydrogen,
including fork lift trucks, will be a
regular feature of the transport scene
around Swindon over the coming
years, with the expansion of BOC’s
Hydrogen Refuelling Station at the
Honda of the UK manufcturing site.

On-site solar-powered electrolysis
will enable the refuelling station to
produce hydrogen more sustainably,
with the resulting gas used to fuel a
number of vehicle types – including
fork lift trucks supplied by Briggs
Equipment and operated by Honda –
using BOC’s filling technology. The
project includes a low-platinum fuel
cell from ACAL Energy.

The two and a half year project
will assess the potential for
integrating the different technologies
involved in hydrogen-powered
transport.
