FIRST HYDROGEN'S HYDROGEN-FUEL-CELL POWERED VEHICLE HAS AN UNBEATABLE RANGE

First Hydrogen Corp. has noted that award-winning fleet management provider Rivus, which manages approximately 120,000 vehicles, has provided its positive report on the company's hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered vehicle (FCEV). The report's overall conclusion highlighted First Hydrogen's FCEV robustness over EVs (electric vehicles) in terms of vehicle efficiency over different load factors. The report goes on say the FCEV has an unbeatable range and refuelling was quick, taking less than five minutes.

The report noted First Hydrogen's FCEV superiority compared with electric vehicles (EV) in range, where modern electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs) can achieve ranges of upward of 240 kilometres, which was easily doubled by First Hydrogen's FCEV. The company's FCEV was not heavily affected by the speed or the payload, and performed well under different load cycles compared with eLCVs, which can experience reductions in range by approximately 10 per cent.

First Hydrogen's FCEV was trialled with Rivus for just over four weeks. In that time, engineers at Rivus covered over 700 miles (1,125 km) of testing. Tests were completed on diverse routes, providing data on how the vehicle operates under different conditions. This involved urban city centre driving, navigating extra-urban routes, that is, journeys that include driving in town centres and on higher-speed roads, and combined routes, which included a mix of driving on low-speed city centre roads, higher-speed roads and motorways. Rivus tested the van both empty and loaded to 90 per cent of its maximum weight capacity, again reflecting the way vans will be used in the real world.

Gemma Horne, warranty controller at Rivus, took part in the trials and best described the over all experience as "brilliant." She went on to say: "The main benefit of the First Hydrogen vehicle is the refuelling times are quicker than battery electric vehicles charge times. And of course, unlike internal combustion engines, hydrogen vehicles produce zero emissions."

Steve Gill, First Hydrogen's automotive chief executive officer, says: "We are delighted that Rivus has managed to prove that this technology can be a viable option for many fleets. The trial also showed that the vehicle ran with excellent efficiency, comfortably achieving more than a 500 km range on a single tank of fuel, exceeding the early performance expectations we set for real world driving. We have always been confident that our vehicle will offer benefits to fleets, and this first trial is evidence of just that."

About First Hydrogen Corp.

First Hydrogen is a Vancouver- and London, U.K.-based company focused on zero-emission vehicles, green hydrogen production and distribution, and supercritical carbon dioxide extractor systems. The company has designed and built hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered light commercial demonstrator vehicles (LCV) under two agreements with AVL Powertrain and Ballard Power Systems Inc. The LCV has a range of over 630 kilometres. These vehicles are being trialled with an initial 16 fleet operators in the United Kingdom. At the same time, the company has launched its bespoke vehicle design phase which will develop its fleet of proprietary zero-emission vehicles. First Hydrogen is also developing refuelling capability, working with FEV Consulting GmbH, the automotive consultancy of FEV Group of Aachen, Germany. The company is also pursuing opportunities in green hydrogen production and distribution in the U.K., European Union and North America.
