The National Composites Centre (NCC), in collaboration with Arcola Energy and advanced composites manufacturer, Permali, have developed a low-cost composite storage structure for hydrogen fuel cylinders that can be retrofitted to existing commercial buses, enabling the switch to a clean energy source and reducing the emissions of large vehicles in the UK.

The NCC worked with Motivation to design and manufacture the prototype composite wheelchair seat pan that can be moulded to the user needs to ensure a surface that provides long-term postural control and pressure management.

The NCC has found a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative material for the subterranean pipes used by Magway, the innovative SME who develop ground-breaking sustainable transport solutions.
