The main objective of the HyMot project is to demonstrate the feasibility of decarbonizing a commercial vehicle by converting its engine to hydrogen.

context
With 31% of French greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, transport is the activity that contributes the most to France's GHGs. Working to decarbonize it is therefore a major societal challenge, in addition to being a challenge for companies operating in this sector.

It is in this sense that the HyMot project is part of, led by a consortium in which OSE participates. This ambitious partnership, thanks to the sharing of skills between high-level private and public actors, will thus have a concrete impact on the decarbonization of the transport sector, through the implementation of an innovative and sustainable solution for the automotive industry.

This project is an important step in the development of a French hydrogen sector of excellence, and opens up concrete economic prospects on French territory: sustainability of industrial sites and development of hydrogen skills throughout the value chain.

missions
CHARACTERIZATION OF CUSTOMER USES
minus iconplus icon
Characterization of customer uses of commercial vehicles using human sciences, data science and advanced statistical analysis tools.
GENERATION OF REPRESENTATIVE DRIVING CYCLES
minus iconplus icon
Evolution of the OseRoad tool, developed by our team, to generate a large number of driving cycles representative of commercial vehicle customer uses and certification.
DRIVING BEHAVIOR MODELING
