Peugeot’s first hydrogen car just left its production line on December 13, 2021. It’s an electronics expert. An electric version powered by a hydrogen fuel cell (full hydrogen cell) in the commercial vehicle segment.
The first customer, which will be delivered before the end of the year, is Watea by Michelin, the Michelin Group’s small dedicated subsidiary of green mobility solutions.
The electric version with the hydrogen fuel cell underlines the rapid spread of the electrified offer of the Peugeot Expert range. The e-Expert Hydrogen version is based on its battery cousin. It is first produced in France, at the Hordain site (Noord, Hauts de France), and then converted in Germany in Rüsselsheim, on the production lines of the Stellantis Efficiency Center dedicated to hydrogen technology.
It can be hydrogenated in 3 minutes for over 400 km of autonomy in the WLTP homogenization cycle (in the homogenization process). Two lengths (standard and long) are available with the same loading volume characteristics as the diesel and battery electric versions, i.e. up to 6.1m3 of load volume, up to 1,000kg payload and a towing capacity of up to 1,000kg.
Hyundai also relies on hydrogen
French driver Adrien Tambay wrote a new page in the history of fuel cell vehicles and the Korean manufacturer Hyundai by achieving on Tuesday the Val Thorens Ice Circuit a 190-lap cover performance with a single tank of hydrogen, all by -6°. At the time of registration, 267.8 m3 of fresh air volume was officially measured, reducing CO2 by 26.5 kg.
