First Hydrogen’s (FHYD) two demonstrator vehicles have completed initial commissioning trials.
The vehicles have passed the important vehicle control system tests as part of the commissioning trials. The fuel cell systems, including the stack supplied by Ballard Power Systems, have undergone extensive calibration and testing in Graz, Austria.
First Hydrogen’s automotive build partner AVL, is running the tests. AVL is one of the world’s leading mobility technology companies for development, simulation and testing in the automotive industry.
Since announcing the trials, two other fleets have expressed interest in participating in the demonstration program. A total of 12 fleet operators working across a range of industries have now signed up to participate.
They will be able to technically evaluate First Hydrogen’s fuel cell vehicles in terms of payload, range and ease of refuelling and compare ease of use with battery electric alternatives. First Hydrogen expects to secure indications of interest for future vehicle orders as a result of these trials.
Steve Gill, CEO at First Hydrogen Automotive, commented on the news.
“Completion of the first trials is a key milestone in our demonstrators’. This takes First Hydrogen to progress to the next stages of development for the vehicle’s hydrogen system, filling trials and dynamic road running. We are pleased that Essex Fire and Rescue Service were reassured to see the control measures put in place. They have supported the application for use on the county’s roads.”
