Hydrogen on the rise in Great Britain – PROFFS Newspaper

Vauxhall has begun UK customer trials of the Vivaro hydrogen van. A number of companies, including some of the UK's largest vehicle fleets, will take part in the trial ahead of the UK launch of Vauxhall's largest light commercial vehicle, the Movano HYDROGEN.

The Vivaro Hydrogen is already sold in left-hand drive (LHD) markets by Vauxhall's sister brand Opel, making it the first commercially available hydrogen car.

Based on that In the existing all-electric Vivaro Electric, the Vivaro Hydrogen has a 45 kW fuel cell and a 10.5 kW lithium-ion battery tucked under the front seats for a range of about 40 miles.

Lithium ion battery 10.5 kWh provides a variable peak power when needed, for example starting and accelerating. This ensures that the fuel cell operates under optimal operating conditions and enables regenerative braking. Plug-in capability allows the battery to be charged externally when needed, giving nearly 5 miles of additional range.

Thanks to the wise man The Vivaro Hydrogen does not need to compromise on space for packaging and offers a cargo volume of 6.1 m3 and a maximum payload of 1,000 kg.

Investigation i It comes ahead of the UK launch of the Movano Hydrogen, which will be available to order later this year, with first deliveries expected in 2025.

movano hydrogen Provides a range of approximately 50 miles and can be refueled in less than five minutes. The electric motor produces 110kW (150hp) and a maximum torque of 410 Newton meters. An 11kWh lithium-ion battery provides support during start-up or acceleration. This system helps to recover brake energy and supply electricity to the battery via an electric motor that acts as a generator.

Earlier this year Vauxhall has partnered with UK-based Ryze Hydrogen to develop hydrogen charging infrastructure solutions for hauliers, enabling companies to operate hydrogen vehicles and refuel on site or at a refueling facility.
