First Hydrogen (FHYD) has reported that two fuel cell-powered commercial demonstrator vehicles are scheduled to begin operational testing next month.

These two vehicles are expected to be road legal by September 2022, allowing for trials with fleet operators.

Operation trials will be carried out with a large number of fleet operators and buyers based on the interest generated to date.

These trials will enhance product development and create customer engagement and partnerships around First Hydrogen Automotive’s future fleets of LCVs.

Steve Gill, CEO of First Hydrogen Automotive stated,

“We chose to start by developing road-legal demonstrators using a donor platform that will enable customers to see, feel and experience the benefits and operation of a hydrogen propulsion system in a familiar set-up and compare it directly to an EV.”

“The resulting vehicles will have over 500km of range capability, based on the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP), versus a 115km range compared to a base EV, with the same maximum speed. The refuelling time is typically five minutes,” added Gill.

First Hydrogen Corp. is a Vancouver and London UK-based company focused on zero-emission vehicles, green hydrogen production and distribution and supercritical carbon dioxide extractor systems.

It is designing and building hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered light commercial demonstrator vehicles (“LCV”) under two agreements with AVL Powertrain and Ballard Power Systems Inc.

The LCV will have a range of over 500 kilometres.

First, Hydrogen is also developing refuelling capability working with FEV Consulting GmbH, the internal automotive consultancy of FEV Group of Aachen, Germany.

First Hydrogen Corp. (FHYD) is up 0.68 per cent, trading at C$2.98 at 1.02 pm ET.
