First Hydrogen completed hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle trials in winter conditions 

First Hydrogen Corp. announced that it has successfully completed hydrogen fuel cell-powered vehicle (FCEV) trials with gas distribution network Wales & West Utilities (WWU). WWU is exploring zero emissions vehicle technology to suit its operational requirements and the trials provided the transport team with the opportunity to experience the benefits of the Company’s FCEV first-hand.

The company’s FCEV completed more than 2,000 km (>1,200 miles) over the four-week trial, travelling up to 189 km (117 miles) per day in some of South Wales’ coldest conditions. The FCEV vehicle demonstrated its’ capability for demanding duties, such as carrying heavier payloads, towing and powering auxiliary equipment (onboard power), as well as, the full power capability of the fuel cell module, with outputs higher than 60kW in transient accelerations. The trial had already shown there was no decrease in vehicle performance or range when operating in colder temperatures. The data recorded will provide great insight into the FCEV’s performance in winter conditions.
