Abstract
The goal of the EU Horizon 2020 RISE project 778307 “Hydrogen fuelled utility vehicles and
their support systems utilising metal hydrides” (HYDRIDE4MOBILITY), is in addressing
critical issues towards a commercial implementation of hydrogen powered forklifts using
metal hydride (MH) based hydrogen storage and PEM fuel cells, together with the systems
for their refuelling at industrial customers facilities. For these applications, high specific
weight of the metallic hydrides has an added value, as it allows counterbalancing of a
vehicle with no extra cost. Improving the rates of H2 charge/discharge in MH on the materials and system level, simplification of the design and reducing the system cost,
together with improvement of the efficiency of system “MH store-FC”, is in the focus of this
work as a joint effort of consortium uniting academic teams and industrial partners from
two EU and associated countries Member States (Norway, Germany, Croatia), and two
partner countries (South Africa and Indonesia).
