“ Hydrogen is an exciting opportunity in the automotive industry, but it comes with challenges like those faced by EVs, particularly concerning infrastructure development, rollout, and ensuring domestic production to avoid imports from overseas. However, the implementation of hydrogen is predominantly focused on larger vehicles, leaving a missed opportunity in the LCV market for the exploration of emerging technologies. To fully leverage the potential of hydrogen technology, and ensure it meets the specific needs of the market, there must be improved collaboration between OEMs and end users. Once the appropriate infrastructure is in place, hydrogen can be harnessed as a waste product of certain manufacturing processes. If we can capture it in an efficient way and distribute it around the country, it could lead to exciting prospects for embracing hydrogen technology in the UK,” he concludes CPD is driven by a bold vision – continuously innovating, embracing emerging technologies, and refining its solutions to meet customer needs. By combining transparency, efficiency, and sustainability, the company is shaping the future of LCVs in the UK and beyond. CPD is committed to staying at the forefront of industry advancements and ensuring that its customers have access to the highest-quality vehicles and services.
