The installed equipment, logistic support for the trial and any potential follow-on activity will be an experiment to gain experience of the use of such technology and inform any follow-on associated MT activity. The chargers of the type must use renewal fuel sources and fast charge power outlet standards The trial should enable: a. Trial hydrogen/ammonia/methanol as fuel source for electricity generation. b. Handling of fuels. Use of hydrogen based fuel as a green fuel. Maintenance and training to be given on equipment as required. c. In addition to the trial, the supplier will be required to provide suitable open access software to allow the monitoring of the remote stations for user support purposes and for diagnostic purposes. d.
