Hydrogen Vehicles Basics

Introduction

With the introduction of hydrogen powered vehicles, new technologies emerged in the automotive industry. There are also new risks associated with these technologies, which can lead to serious damage and injury if handled incorrectly. In particular the high pressure, the high voltage and the gaseous fuel makes that the risks differ from conventional vehicles
and training of service staff is required.

The training is based on the Dutch guideline PGS26 for CNG & LNG vehicles, however specifically adapted to hydrogen vehicles. The training focuses on basic knowledge about hydrogen production, infrastructure and the use of hydrogen in vehicles, building equipment, agricultural equipment etcetera, and is therefore intended for anyone who is interested in hydrogen powered vehicles.
