Engineering consultancy company Ricardo has opened a new hydrogen test facility in West Sussex.

The Ricardo facility was officially opened in late October in Shoreham-by-Sea and will allow the engineering consultancy company to further develop their zero emissions mobility solutions.

Featuring modern testing facilities, the plant will oversee the firm's research and development in both fossil fuels alternatives and electric vehicles.

Matt Beasley, President of Established Mobility at Ricardo, said the Shoreham Technical Centre enables it to offer a one-stop-shop for customers: from design and development, right through to the testing and integration of alternative fuel technologies, such as hydrogen, to support future production planning.

He said, “We’re already working with a range of customers on hydrogen and fuel cell technology, providing clean, efficient solutions, which reduce carbon and emissions across several sectors.”
