About ULEMCo

ULEMCo Ltd is the world’s first hydrogen commercial vehicle conversion company, enabling fleet and commercial vehicle owners to access to zero carbon hydrogen fuel, as part of their strategies to reduce transport related carbon emissions.

ULEMCo is based in Liverpool, UK and was founded in 2014 to commercialise its globally unique UK capability in hydrogen technology to convert commercial vehicles - from LGV to HGV and specialist utility vehicles like refuse trucks, gritter and sweepers - to run on hydrogen. This is achieved using the company’s technology for hydrogen dual fuel, and applying know-how and experience in developing zero carbon engine vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell integration.

Using hydrogen instead of conventional fuels enables commercial fleets to benefit from a reduced carbon footprint, while still having the full range capability of standard diesel vehicles.

Alongside various partners, ULEMCo already supports a fleet of vehicles across a range of hydrogen hubs in the UK.

The V-CAL project, based in Sunderland, has been awarded £4 million from the government’s £42 million Commercialising Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) competition through the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV).

V-CAL will build upon the Department for Digital Culture Media & Sport (DCMS) funded 5G CAL project, which delivered a working proof-of-concept (PoC) demonstration of the autonomous and teleoperation of a 40-tonne truck, with live loads delivered from Vantec to Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK (NMUK) fully autonomously without intervention by a safety driver.

The trail-blazing project will scale the deployment on the initial PoC into actual operational conditions and also expand into alternative, more complex routes, which build scale, reliability, and consistency of operation. It will run up to four zero-emission autonomous HGVs around the Nissan Sunderland site, on a private roads, where the vehicles will navigate traffic lights, roundabouts, and other road users  – a significant step towards deploying the technology on public roads.

V-CAL, led by the NEAA, in partnership with Vantec, NMUK, StreetDrone, Nokia, Newcastle University, Angoka, BP and Womble Bond Dickinson (UK) LLP, has the opportunity to unlock the enormous potential for scalable CAL commercial offerings, ready for the UK market.
