The initiative aims to complete a full integrated design and demonstrate the hydrogen train in Scotland, with the project anticipated to span 12 months. Interested parties should note that the deadline for expressing interest is set for 18 September 2020, and the project will take place in St Andrews, UK. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the engineering, technology, and rail sectors, particularly those with expertise in hydrogen fuel cell technology and railway systems. The project is designed not only to foster innovation in environmentally friendly transport solutions but also to enhance the skills and knowledge of suppliers and educational institutions involved. Companies that are proficient in transport engineering, regulatory compliance for rail systems, and those capable of developing infrastructure for hydrogen refuelling are especially well-positioned to compete for this contract. ## Notice Over the course of 12 months - completion of full integrated design, first generation drivetrain installed and demonstration of the train in Scotland off Network Rail infrastructure in rail yard or moved elsewhere e.g. a preserved railway line / non-mainline track. This will allow an assessment to be undertaken that any modifications do not present risks to the operational railway. During this time, if the requirements are that it will eventually run on Network Rail infrastructure, this can be stage 3 of the project as this will be a project in its own right. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Over the course of 12 months - completion of full integrated design, first generation drivetrain installed and demonstration of the train in Scotland off NR infrastructure in rail yard or moved elsewhere e.g. a preserved railway line / non-mainline track. This will allow an assessment to be undertaken that any modifications do not present risks to the operational railway. During this time, if the requirements are that it will eventually run on Network Rail infrastructure, this can be stage 3 of the project as this will be a project in its own right. There are six key project objectives, detailed below: 1. Prove that in Scotland we have the capability of modifying an existing item of rolling stock to install hydrogen fuel cell (FC), batteries, control equipment etc 2. Working with the regulatory bodies, develop the necessary standards and controls for the use of hydrogen FC power on passenger rolling stock 3. Inform the passenger rail policy for Independently Powered Multiple Unit use on the Scottish passenger rail network in advance of the zero emission requirement for 2035 on Scotland's passenger railway 4. Demonstrate to the Team Scotland rail community through practical application the operation of hydrogen FC passenger rolling stock 5. Provide the supply chain with the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their knowledge of the application of hydrogen FC technology on passenger rolling stock including hydrogen supply and refuelling infrastructure 6. Provide educational institutions with the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their knowledge of the application of hydrogen FC technology in the rail industry.
