First Hydrogen’s (FHYD) two light commercial vehicles are now street-legal in the U.K.

The certification, which excludes Northern Ireland, allows the EVs to undertake customer trials on public roads commencing January 2023 for 24 months.

A total of 13 U.K. fleet operators in telecom, utilities, infrastructure, delivery, grocery and health care have signed up to participate in the trials.

The company expects to collect data from fleet owners and capture high-level interest for future orders. 

First Hydrogen’s fuel-cell electric vehicles offer a 400-600 km range and refuel in a matter of minutes.

The certification will help to further the company’s efforts to ramp up trials in the E.U., U.S. and Canada. 

The company is working in parallel to offer green hydrogen generation and distribution under its Hydrogen-as-a-Service program in the U.K., Europe and North America.

“I am excited about the groundwork laid by the whole team and, as we move forward, executing our business plan in the coming months,” stated Balraj Mann, First Hydrogen’s Chairman and CEO. “Green hydrogen is becoming a clean alternative answer to fossil fuels.”

First Hydrogen is focused on zero-emission vehicles, green hydrogen production and distribution and supercritical carbon dioxide extractor systems.

First Hydrogen (FHYD) is down by 1.56 per cent, trading at $3.78 per share as of 10:44 am EST.
