About HyKit®
HyKit® was established in 2025 to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen across heavy industry by addressing one of the sector’s biggest challenges: creating the infrastructure and solutions needed for reliable, large-scale deployment.
A joint venture between clean energy entrepreneur Jo Bamford CBE, the HydraB group of companies, JCB and investment firm HyCap, HyKit® is building the real- world hydrogen ecosystem required to decarbonise industries where battery-electric solutions alone cannot meet operational demands.
From off-highway transport and automotive to marine, aviation, construction, agriculture and static power generation, organisations are increasingly turning to hydrogen as a practical route to lower-emission operations. As the market matures, the focus has shifted from demonstrating hydrogen technology to deploying it safely, efficiently and at scale.
Based in Bicester, Oxfordshire, HyKit® operates a purpose-built manufacturing facility dedicated to supporting this transition. Through investment in UK manufacturing, skilled jobs and domestic supply chains, HyKit® is helping establish Britain as a leader in the global hydrogen economy.
HyKit® exists to close the gap between hydrogen’s potential and its practical deployment. By developing the infrastructure, systems and operational expertise needed to store, transport, refuel and use hydrogen safely, the company enables organisations to put hydrogen to work with confidence in demanding real-world environments.
Why hydrogen, why now?
Industry is under increasing pressure to decarbonise.
Regulatory frameworks are tightening, emissions standards are evolving, and organisations are committing to measurable reductions in operational carbon output.
For many applications across transport, industry, and power generation, full electrication is not always practical. Hydrogen oers a viable alternative, particularly where energy demand, uptime requirements and operating conditions limit battery-based solutions.
The opportunity is clear. The challenge is making it work in practice.
How we approach the challenge
Our Approach
Our work is informed by experience across the energy transition eco-system and industrial environments, with ongoing involvement in the development of standards and best practices for hydrogen use.
