First Hydrogen Expands Hydrogen Operations in North America, Europe, and South America
Key Ideas
  • First Hydrogen's hydrogen-powered fuel cell light commercial vehicle (FCEV) trials in the UK were successful, leading to increased interest from fleet operators in North America, South America, and Europe.
  • The company is expanding its operations by developing additional FCEVs, proposing to build a vehicle assembly facility and green hydrogen production plant in Quebec, Mexico, and aiming to offer its Hydrogen-As-A-Service model in Germany and Europe.
  • South American countries, particularly Chile and Peru, are focusing on green hydrogen development, creating opportunities for First Hydrogen to pursue in these regions.
  • The FCEV trials demonstrated the vehicles' capability for demanding tasks, such as carrying heavy payloads and operating in cold temperatures, with drivers noting the ease of drivability, quick refueling, and impressive range on a single refueling.
First Hydrogen Corp. has provided an update on its corporate developments in North America, South America, and Europe. Following the success of the latest trial of the company's hydrogen-powered fuel cell light commercial vehicle (FCEV) in the UK, First Hydrogen is receiving significant interest from fleet operators in Quebec, Mexico, and various European countries. The company plans to expand its FCEV operations to Europe and South America, with a focus on green technology and zero-emission vehicles. In North America, Quebec has shown positive interest in hydrogen vehicles as an alternative to battery electric vehicles, especially during cold weather conditions. First Hydrogen is looking to build a vehicle assembly facility and green hydrogen production plant in Shawinigan, Quebec, aiming to produce up to 25,000 vehicles annually for distribution across North America. In Mexico, the company is in discussions with an industrial fleet operator to convert and add FCEVs to their fleet, aligning with the country's focus on renewable energy. Europe's efforts to decarbonize have opened opportunities for First Hydrogen, as the European Union aims to become climate-neutral by 2050. The company is looking to expand into Germany and Europe to offer its Hydrogen-As-A-Service model. South American countries like Chile and Peru are also focusing on green hydrogen development, providing further avenues for First Hydrogen to explore. Trials conducted by First Hydrogen have demonstrated the FCEV's capabilities for various real-world conditions, with no decrease in performance or range even in colder temperatures. The ease of drivability, quick refueling, and impressive range on a single refueling have been noted by drivers participating in these trials. The company is actively engaging with fleet operators to add FCEVs to their fleets or convert existing vehicles to hydrogen-powered fuel cells, showing a positive outlook for the future of zero-emission vehicles and green hydrogen production.
