FUTURE ENERGY TRIAL – ELECTRICITY GENERATION

This PIN establishes the requirement to trial other fuel sources for automotive use and remain consistent with the wider Departmental Climate Change and Sustainability (CC&S) drivers. There is a global commitment to transition away from fossil fuels in order to achieve both national and international sustainability commitments. This MOD trial is in support of the UK governments 2050 Net Zero Strategy.
This project looks to trial an alternative Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) charging capability for UK Defence sites for which it would be prohibitively difficult or expensive to provide a national grid vehicle charging capability. The findings from this trial will support the Sustainable Road Transport (SRT) team to mitigate operational risk to Authority sites that cannot easily upgrade to three-phase BEV charging infrastructure. For information, this competition will be run via the CCS HELGA Framework: https://www.crowncommercial.gov.uk/agreements/RM3824
