# Abstract:
This document is an MS Excel database of zero emission powertrain components and overall costs for EV and FCEV powertrains in heavy duty vehicles. The dataset includes:
- Indicative fuel cell light and heavy vehicle specifications for each of the truck and bus categories currently used by the ETI
- Fuel cell system component costs by year and global production volume
- Initial production cost, TCO and CO2 savings assessment
- Equivalent data for battery electric vehicles for comparison purposes

# Context:
Natural gas is a potential long-term substitution for existing liquid fuel based technologies in heavy duty vehicles, but more research is required to assess the economic likelihood of this pathway. The software tool that Element Energy will develop will calculate the total greenhouse gas emissions (known in the industry as “well to motion”) and the subsequent associated costs for different gas production pathways. It will also consider how the influence of product development over time could influence the cost, performance, technology choices and the market take-up of liquefied natural gas and compressed natural gas.
Element Energy, the strategic energy consultancy specialising in the analysis of and technical insights into low carbon energy markets are the prime contractor delivering this year long £300,000 contract. They are joined with sub-contract support from University College London, CNG Services Ltd, and Strateco AB.
