Since 2022, SEGULA Technologies has been participating in the Badevel municipality’s project to transform municipal utility vehicles (two to three vehicles for green spaces and deliveries) into “green” vehicles. Employees from the Brognard site are working on this project, with expertise in energy sizing, instrumentation, fuel cells, electric powertrains, IT and project management.

The local authority called on SEGULA to carry out a technical and economic feasibility study on converting its commercial vehicles into hybrid electric/hydrogen vehicles. Now finalised, the study shows that the council’s electric vehicles could be converted into hybrid vehicles with hydrogen storage at 350 bars.

The Engineering Group is also tasked with proposing instrumentation for the test vehicle, so that its energy system can be sized according to usage requirements. Sensors placed on the vehicle will be used to collect data on its actual consumption in order to optimise it (data such as currents, voltages, temperature and humidity readings, etc.). 

*Launched as part of the France 2030 “Intelligent and Sustainable Territories” project, funded by the Caisse des Dépôts (Banque des Territoires), the Bourgogne Franche-Comté region and supported by the commune of Badevel.
