As a result, Hub2Hub, a project by UK-based hydrogen-powered commercial vehicle startup, Fusion Processing has been awarded £6.6 million to develop a world-first, zero-emission autonomous HGV for the UK market. CCAV (Center for Connected Autonomous Vehicles) selected the £12 million venture as one of seven recipients of their joint industry and government funding. Fusion, founded in 2012, is an expert in autonomous vehicles, and the collaboration will use the company’s advanced CAVstar system. The automated haulage depots and hubs used for autonomous vehicle technology will also offer improved usage of space, safety and efficiency for operators. As a result, nearly 40,000 skilled jobs could be created in the connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology sector.
