6: Lunch with Leon episode 6 - Jo Bamford

We need to think differently: That’s the challenge that Jo Bamford throws down to operators in a chat over lunch with Leon Daniels.
Part of JCB’s global vehicle business and son of Lord Bamford, Jo is a passionate advocate for hydrogen, aiming to bring hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles to the world on a large scale .
Having set up Ryse Hydrogen in 2017 to produce and supply hydrogen, last year Jo hit the headlines when he bought Wrightbus. As a result it now offers turnkey solutions for both hydrogen and battery buses.
In a wide-range discussion they chew over how the capital and operational costs of hydrogen vehicles can be reduced to the same as diesel.
They also discuss breaking the chicken-and-egg scenario of hydrogen production and infrastructure.
