Case Studies

Find out how this consortium used the Hot Form Quench (HFQ) process to optimise the performance of aluminium alloys and reduce the associated costs during the RACEForm project.

The ACE-DC (Alliance Casting Europe Development Centre) project was led by Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK (NMUK) to expand its R&D capabilities and enhance its competitiveness among the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance.

Thanks to the APC’s Advanced Route to Market Demonstrator funding, this radical new internal combustion engine, developed by Dolphin N2, was able to show its potential for running on hydrogen.

Wrightbus built the world’s first double decker hydrogen fuel cell bus, and now has fleets operating in five cities across the UK and Ireland thanks to an APC-funded project.

Intelligent Energy is commercialising its hydrogen technology by working with a consortium of UK-based companies including Changan UK R&D Centre Ltd, Alexander Dennis Limited And Lyra Electronics, on one of our funded projects to develop a cost-effective and efficient supply chain.

Hydrogen can go longer, deliver high power, and be refuelled quickly, making it perfect for utility vehicles. This APC-funded project provided research to find the best business case for heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Hear from Dr Richard Kemp-Harper as he explains why fleet operators, such as Glasgow City Council, are choosing to go down the route of hydrogen vehicles rather than battery-electric.
