HOPIUM, the cleantech company aiming to decarbonise heavy goods transport, announced the successful completion of its road tests, marking a decisive step towards the commercialisation of its innovative fuel cell technology.
The road tests were carried out on the UTAC circuit, and from the very first laps, the fuel cell system proved its robustness, enabling a series of test sessions to be carried out without interruption. The validation programme included dynamic cycles on the road circuit (strong acceleration and deceleration, vibrations) and tests on the speed ring (high speed, thermal cycling, fine weather and rain), corresponding to the cycles used by heavy goods vehicles.
These tests confirmed the robustness and reliability of the hydrogen propulsion system developed by Hopium. They also validate the operation of the Hopium fuel cell system in a real-life environment, i.e. a TRL7 level of maturity. This crucial milestone represents significant progress towards the company’s objective of offering a solution for decarbonising heavy transport.
