First Hydrogen Corp. has successfully conducted three vehicle trials with its hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle (FCEV) and has now initiated trials with a major multinational logistics company. These trials, which started in London, UK, involve training drivers and are anticipated to last for a month.
Parcel delivery companies, facing various challenges, are exploring zero-emission technologies like battery and hydrogen to meet commercial and environmental goals. These trials aim to test the FCEV’s performance over longer durations and heavier workloads, simulating real-world delivery conditions.
First Hydrogen’s fuel cell technology has demonstrated its capability to deliver power as needed, with impressive outputs during accelerations. Previous trials have shown the vehicle’s ability to achieve a peak range of 630km (400 miles), indicating its suitability for demanding tasks like carrying heavier loads and navigating hilly terrains.
The parcel delivery market is rapidly expanding, driven by the growth of ecommerce. As the number of delivery vehicles increases, so does the need for sustainable solutions to reduce vehicle emissions. Hydrogen fuel cells offer a promising alternative, providing zero-emission transportation with extended range and quick refueling capabilities.
