The EU project PRHYDE (Protocol for Heavy-duty Hydrogen Refuelling), in which the ZBT is involved among others, is developing refuelling protocols for heavy-duty vehicles such as buses and trucks. The consortium provides information on project progress in regular webinars. The next webinar is scheduled for April 21, 2022. Starting at 13:00 UTC (15:00 CET), there will be a report on the current status of the refuelling concept in Work Package 3. This will be followed by insights into the activities carried out in Work Packages 4 (Modelling & Simulations) and 5 (Experimental Validation) to support the development of the refuelling protocols.

Standardization updates
In addition, the PRHYDE Consortium reminds anyone interested in following the development of standards relating to refuelling protocols that ISO/TC 197 has commenced work on a suite of documents on refuelling protocols in the newly (re)formed WG24:
- ISO 19885-1 – further developing the content in ISO 19880-1 (e.g. clause 8) to include greater detail on what is expected of a fuelling protocol (in general, i.e. for light duty vehicles as well as other vehicles), also what should be carried out in order to validate the protocol
- ISO 19885-2 – developing guidance on requirements for communications protocols
- ISO 19885-3 – providing a worked example(s) of a refuelling protocol for heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles
This activity is open to participation through the mirror committee to ISO/TC 197 in your National Standards Organisation.
