Having worked with zero and low emission buses for the last 15 years, David has gained vast knowledge and knowhow in the operation and maintenance side of bus operations. Since the start of 2024, David is working as an independent consultant to assist and further develop the operation of zero emission heavy duty vehicles.

The start of David’s zero emission experience started in 2009 when he worked for Tower Transit, a London bus operator. He oversaw all aspects of the London hydrogen fuel cell buses that were part of the Clean Hydrogen in European Cities (CHiC) and Environmentally Friendly, Efficient Electric Motion (3Emotion) projects. From the start of the projects, David managed the introduction of the buses including setting up of the associated fuelling station and workshop, plus the daily operation incorporating zero emission buses as part of the overall bus fleet.

Following his time at Tower Transit, David joined Ballard Power Systems Europe as Market Development Manager continuing to develop and promote the use of fuel cell electric buses.

Alongside his belief in hydrogen vehicles, David is also a leading authority on other low and zero emission technologies and their operation.

Prior to his involvement on zero emission vehicles, David worked in the manufacturing industry on new product introduction, aftersales support and quality.

David is a European and Chartered Engineer (EUR ING and CEng), qualified to master’s degree level in both Hydrogen Safety Engineering and Electronics.
