We have established Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions to deliver clean, decarbonised mobility by developing solutions across the technology stack. Vanguard is a fast growing spin-out from one of the UK’s leading universities, building on decades of cutting edge research. We work across the mobility and energy sectors to deliver the holistic solutions necessary to provide decarbonised transport systems. We are committed to enabling transport systems to decarbonise rapidly, delivering sustainable solutions and developing the exceptional engineering talent needed to deliver them. Initially focused on the rail market, Vanguard is driving the decarbonisation of heavy transport through the development of hydrogen and battery solutions comprising both the propulsion system and the long-term supply of hydrogen and charging infrastructure. Vanguard employs a systems approach focused on demand-led solutions providing clean mobility for people and goods.

"As Governments worldwide enforce stricter regulations and set ambitious environmental targets to achieve net-zero emissions, the need for decarbonisation in the transportation sector has never been more urgent." In this article, Rob Gibson, CEO of Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions, explains how the organisation’s HydroShunter innovation can lead a hydrogen-powered revolution in rail decarbonisation. #railnews #railways #ukrail #rail
Our CEO, Robert Gibson, MIET, talks to Rail Industry Connect about HydroShunter and how hydrogen can help shape the future of zero carbon rail.
"The rail industry offers a cleaner mode of transport than others, but fuel alternatives are needed to reduce its annual global emissions, which, according to the latest statistics, stand at 94.6 million metric tonnes of CO2. Hydrogen offers a scalable, sustainable solution." In this article, Robert Gibson, MIET, CEO of Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions, explains how the organisation’s HydroShunter innovation can lead a hydrogen-powered revolution in rail decarbonisation.
The latest HydoShunter update is here! Our project with the Severn Valley Railway is really taking shape now, with a successful first turn of the wheels happening last week. https://lnkd.in/e6zEHY6T Jack Baldwin Callum Nicolson Jonathan Dunster, BSc FCIRO Helen Simpson Prof. Jeff Allan Nick Tansley Ben Aitken Charles Calvert Lesley Carr
We’re filming the latest update for HydroShunter at the Severn Valley Railway. A new, significant update will be landing soon! Lesley Carr Jack Baldwin Callum Nicolson Severn Valley Railway

Not long until we have wheels turning!
I really enjoyed my visit with Vanguard Sustainable Transport Solutions to see the final electrical systems being installed and tested on their HydroShunter project yesterday. Enspired Consulting Ltd is proud to be supporting this innovation project. Thanks to Severn Valley Railway and Jack Baldwin for hosting our visit. Can’t wait to see you first battery test results. Good luck to everyone involved with the next steps…. It’s never easy being at the forefront of innovation projects but the rewards will be worth it! Robert Gibson, MIET Charles Calvert Richard Gray
