UK consortium developing biogas and hydrogen dual-fuel Class 66 locomotive

Green Car Congress

Maximum speed is 75 mph. Exhaust emissions will be assessed in line with the latest RSSB guidance to understand both the baseline conditions and the impact of dual-fuelling for both hydrogen and biogas. Emissions and substitution data is a key output of this project and will be available to RSSB.
