European and national regulations on pollutant emissions from motor vehicles are becoming increasingly stringent. Alternative propulsion systems have been gaining popularity for some time. Gas‑fueled propulsion systems are being used more and more as an alternative to purely electric drive systems. In this module, you will learn which gases can be used for this purpose, what properties they have and what safety precautions need to be taken when using them.

• Understand how gas‑fueled propulsion systems work
• Understand the physical properties of gas‑fueled propulsion systems
• Understand the characteristics of hydrogen
• Understand the characteristics of gas‑fueled vehicles
• Understand what gas‑fueled propulsion technology is
• Understand the hazards and protective measures
• Understand what a safe working area looks like

• Employees from repair shops, vehicle manufacturers, suppliers, etc. who work on or may come into contact with gas‑fueled vehicles.

• Gas‑fueled propulsion technology
• Characteristics of gas‑fueled vehicles
• Properties of hydrogen
• Hazards and protective measures
• Procedures in the event of an accident
