Cleaner Vehicles Collect Refuse in Scotland

Posted July 13, 2016 12:00 AM by Engineering360 eNewsletter

Two garbage trucks converted to run on both hydrogen and diesel fuel will soon be operating in Fife, Scotland. Claimed to be the world's first ultra-low emission hydrogen dual-fuel garbage vehicles, the trucks incorporate technology developed by Liverpool-based ULEMCo. The company's first conversion of heavy vehicles weighing over 3,500 kg will be followed by a project involving the conversion of five Ford Transit vans and ten Renault HyKangoo vans to hybrid electric and hydrogen fuel cell operation.

The author/editor has found exactly the wrong place to put this blog. We as engineers know that the production of hydrogen for fuel merely transfers the pollution from the point of use to the point of fuel manufacture, making it (at present) is less efficient and dirtier than conventional fuels. Aim your publicity and hype at the unsuspecting public who don't know any better.
