Feasibility of Incorporating Sustainable Hydrogen Cars into the Operation of Police (FISH-COP) Feasibility of Incorporating Sustainable Hydrogen Cars into the Operation of Police (FISH-COP)

Research and innovation

Middlesbrough Police

Teesside University and Durham University have joined forces with Cleveland Police and Simon Bailes Peugeot


Challenge

Police forces face challenges with electric vehicles (EVs), such as long charging times, limited driving range, and reduced performance in extreme weather. Hydrogen-powered cars could offer a solution, with faster refuelling, longer driving distances, and better performance in a variety of conditions, which are essential for effective policing.


Solution

This project will help police forces compare hydrogen cars to electric and traditional petrol or diesel vehicles in terms of performance, cost, and environmental impact. The team will collect data from the police fleet and create models to simulate real-world scenarios. This will allow them to evaluate whether hydrogen cars are a practical and economical choice for police work.


Impact

The findings from this research could lead to the wider adoption of hydrogen cars by police forces, helping them to reduce their carbon footprint without compromising their operational effectiveness. The study will also provide insights that could guide future policies on sustainable policing.
