London and Canada-based First Hydrogen has announced that its hydrogen powered light commercial vehicles (LCVs) have reached the stage that they are now ready for test driving.
This represents the first testing for zero emission light commercial vehicles developed by the company.
The LCVs from First Hydrogen are now in their final development stages. This week, they announced that the demonstrator of the hydrogen powered vehicles has completed H2 fueling at 700 bar pressure at the Rainham, Essex ITM/MOTIVE site, which is near the AVL Basildon facility where the LCVs are assembled.
Filling at 700 bar is an important landmark for performance, since that is the amount of pressure that supplies adequate energy for a vehicle’s required 400 to 600 kilometer range within a matter of minutes. Once the vehicles are commissioned, their drivers will be able to view the vehicle’s power flow and energy storage on the dashboard display.
The two hydrogen powered demonstrator vehicles from First Hydrogen are slated for delivery before the end of November. They will now be undergoing testing at the HORIBA MIRA Proving Ground and test track, which is located close to Birmingham.
