FleetCheck calls for UK to match EU hydrogen station targets
FleetCheck is urging the UK Government to align with European Union (EU) targets to establish a hydrogen filling station nearly every 200km on major roads by 2030. According to the fleet software specialist, this aims to maximise zero-emission fuel options for vehicle operators, addressing infrastructure gaps that hinder hydrogen adoption. FleetCheck CEO Peter Golding highlighted the issue at a recent hydrogen summit, noting BMW's reluctance to introduce its new fuel cell model to the UK due to inadequate infrastructure. He said: 'We are in a situation where an almost complete absence of infrastructure means we are in danger of being left behind when it comes to hydrogen, even though there seems to be general agreement among fleets that it has a definite role to play in the future.' Golding explained that Hydrogen is seen as a promising option for commercial vehicle operators, where battery electric vehicle adoption faces challenges related to range and payload. Electric van adoption has been slower than anticipated, with operational issues persisting for some fleets. Vauxhall's new hydrogen van, offering a range of approximately 400km and five-minute refuelling, presents a viable zero-emission alternative. However, the lack of refuelling stations limits its practicality unless fleets can afford to bunker fuel. Golding emphasised the need for a balanced government approach promoting diverse zero-emission fuel options. He stated: 'It seems obvious to operators that some fuel choices are more suitable for certain applications, but the UK Government approach appears to be almost entirely centred on battery electric vehicles, simply because they are available here and now. Following recent amendments to the ZEV Mandate, which grant the motor industry additional flexibility, the hydrogen sector stands to gain, potentially attracting investment in infrastructure development. Golding concluded: 'UK fleets should be calling for this to happen."

The Aston Martin Valkyrie LM Is Your Ticket To A Very Exclusive Club
The Valkyrie LM is a close relation of Aston Martin's Le Mans racer, itself based on the Valkyrie ... More street car. It might not be a race winner (yet), but the Aston Martin Valkyrie was undoubtedly the people's champion at last weekend's 24 Hours of Le Mans – and now you can buy one of your own. Revealed in the run-up to this year's event, the Valkyrie LM represents the chance to own a car that, Astin Martin says, is very closely related to its Le Mans racer. It's powered by the same 6.5-liter, naturally-aspirated V12 engine that undoubtedly made the best noise at this year's race, and it shares the same vehicle dynamics and technology too. Limited to just 10 examples, the Valkyrie LM is a long way from being street-legal, as the standard Valkyrie is. Instead, purchasing this car unlocks the opportunity to take part in a series of track days, organized by Aston Martin as part of an event program launching in Q2 of 2026. Just 10 examples of the track-only hypercar will be built. Aston is creating what it calls 'a dedicated driver development program that is tailored to support, harness and optimize their driving ability and provide them with the ultimate topflight motorsport experience.' The company says this will remove the stress of owners organizing their own track days and running the car without factory support. Given the obvious wealth of such customers, Aston describes the Valkyrie LM ownership experience as one delivered on a 'fly-in-and-drive' basis, with every event managed by a team of professional engineers to help owners get the most out of their cars. There's even the option for simulator driver coaching between track sessions, and Aston says cars will be transported, maintained and stored by the company itself. Adrian Hallmark, Aston Martin CEO, said, 'Valkyrie LM is an exquisite opportunity to be part of the most exclusive Aston Martin owners club in the world; a group who can immerse themselves in the purest and most comparable endurance driving experience, one that would otherwise only be available to our works drivers operating at the very limit of sports car racing's highest echelon.' The car uses the same 6.5-liter, naturally-aspirated V12 engine as the car that compete at this ... More year's 24 Hours of Le Mans. In a bid to ensure drivers get the most out of their new toys – and, one assumes, seek to avoid costly repair bills – Aston Martin added, 'clients will gain extra preparation through detailed track walks and classroom sessions before they are unleashed under one-on-one supervision. The Valkyrie LM's engineering team will also offer data and onboard video analysis to fully optimize the driving experience.' All that said, Aston Martin will allow customers to 'take full possession of their car' if they so wish, so it can live in pride of place in their garage at home, if preferred. There are a couple of key differences between the Valkyrie LM and the pair of racers Aston took to Le Mans this summer. Race ballast and series-regulation electronics are not fitted, since there are no rules to adhere to, and the cockpit interface has been modified for track day usage instead of professional motorsport. Buying the car gains access to exclusive track days with vehicle support and expert driving tuition ... More provided by Aston Martin. Aston also says torque sensors that manage power delivery during racing have been removed, in a bid to make the driving experience more customer-friendly. Although largely unchanged, the V12 engine has been recalibrated to run on regular fuel. Unsurprisingly, Aston Martin has not publically revealed a price for the Valkyrie LM. But given the standard road car costs from around $3.5 Million, the track special is sure to cost even more.
