Stellantis is to mass produce hydrogen Peugeot, Citroën and Opel light commercial vehicles at its plant in Hordain, France.
This industrialisation of hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles is a new step for Hordain, where 43% of models for the Peugeot, Citroën, Opel, Vauxhall, Fiat and Toyota brands are already available in a zero-emission electric version.
The “K-zero” vehicles with a fuel cell are intended for long-distance fleets who require a longer range (400 km), fast charging in three minutes and no compromises on charging capacity (1000 kg of payload).
Stellantis is the first manufacturer in the world to market this type of vehicle.
“I’m very proud of the work done by the management and employees at Hordain, who have made their site the first in the world to combine three types of energy, made possible by the flexibility of our manufacturing system,” said Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares.
These hydrogen-powered vehicles will be assembled on the site’s multi-energy line, which already produces the electric and combustion engine versions of the “K-Zero” daily.
A dedicated team will install the tank, the additional batteries, and the fuel cell on a production line at the Hordain site that halves the adjustment time compared to the previous small-scale process, where the fuel cell was assembled at a pilot workshop in Rüsselsheim.
