At today’s UK H2Mobility launch event
in London, Vauxhall is presenting its 4th generation hydrogen
fuel cell vehicle “HydroGen4”.
The event pulls together various
industry stakeholders – including Vauxhall – under government lead, to
investigate and develop clean hydrogen fuel cell mobility in the UK.
As an environmentally responsible and
forward-thinking company with over 100-years of heritage in Britain,
Vauxhall is proud to be at the forefront of hydrogen fuel cell
technology development and continues to explore the potential of all
alternative propulsion technologies.
Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles combine the
advantages of electric propulsion, with the convenience of fast fuelling
and long range, thereby playing an important role in Vauxhall’s
alternative propulsion portfolio. GM/Vauxhall have been investing in
research and development of hydrogen fuel cell technologies for over a
decade. Supported by an extensive test fleet in Europe and the US with
over 100 fuel cell vehicles logging c2 million miles since 2008,
Vauxhall expects the technology to be ready for market introduction by
2016.
Bill Parfitt, Vauxhall Motors’ Director
for Government Affairs and Public Policy, comments on the UK H2Mobility
initiative: “Following our company’s unrelenting focus on hydrogen fuel
cell technology development, the launch and successful roll-out of these
vehicles will now depend on the availability of hydrogen to the consumer
in a real life environment. We therefore greatly appreciate this very
timely initiative, gathering various stakeholders, under government
lead, to establish an adequate strategy for future hydrogen development
in the UK.”
