Piloting H2-vehicles in Wales
Manufacturer First Hydrogen will run the test with the gas distribution network Wales & West Utilities (WWU) later this month. Its hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle (FCEV) will operate from WWU’s Swansea depot, as part of the business’ fleet of 1,300 vehicles, which are deployed in Wales and the southwest of England.
In this trial, First Hydrogen plans to demonstrate the FCEV's advantage over battery electric vehicles in range (630 km), payload towing and fast refuelling capabilities.
Until now, First Hydrogen’s FCEV trials have been located near existing hydrogen fuel stations. The aim of this pilot is to show how partnerships can develop refuelling in areas that lack infrastructure.
