Rajendra Petkar, President & CTO, Tata Motors, says the hydrogen gas cell expertise must now additional get into the dimensions mode when it comes to expertise maturity, when it comes to the funding which the OEMs must make, the funding which the seller ecosystem must make, and likewise from the hydrogen infrastructure standpoint. We additionally want a number of investments within the technology and distribution of hydrogen.Tata Motors has delivered hydrogen gas cell-powered buses to Indian Oil. Are you able to clarify about it?
That is the bus which is fitted with the hydrogen gas cell expertise. Within the hydrogen gas cell, you utilize the hydrogen as a supply of the vitality and that’s the enter vitality. Mix that with the oxygen and each put collectively you generate electrical energy. Retailer the electrical energy within the battery which is on the board after which use that electrical vitality to propel the wheels. It is a zero emission expertise car.
Beside the gas cell expertise per se, there may be a number of different expertise when it comes to the hydrogen storage when it comes to a security system, telematics unit and general clever transport system which is fitted on the bus. There’s a number of focus so far as the car operation, the inside, the roominess and the passenger consolation is worried. It is a subsequent technology bus which is unquestionably a zero emission but in addition comes with a number of different technical options that are packaged to ship the superior shopper expertise.
However the associated fee is one thing which is able to resolve the way forward for such sorts of buses. Give us some particulars about the associated fee concerned as in comparison with diesel gas buses?
The diesel gas buses have been there for greater than 100 years available in the market and due to this fact the diesel expertise has bought perfected when it comes to the dimensions, when it comes to expertise maturation, and when it comes to the supply of diesel as a gas. In relation to the hydrogen gas cell, these are the very first two buses which have been flagged off.
The expertise must now additional get into the dimensions mode when it comes to expertise maturity, when it comes to the funding which the OEMs must make, the funding which the seller ecosystem must make, and likewise from the hydrogen infrastructure standpoint. We additionally want a number of investments within the technology and distribution of hydrogen.
