Unveiling the New Era of Zero-Emission Light Commercial Vehicles: Next-Gen offering from First Hydrogen
First Hydrogen Corp. has revealed the initial images of its next generation zero-emission light commercial vehicle (LCV). The vehicle, currently in the bespoke vehicle development stage, is designed to offer operational benefits for the zero-emission commercial van market and LCV sector.
The LCV is intended for various applications such as express delivery, grocery, construction, utilities work, emergency services, and vehicle recovery. This versatility is achieved through modular designs that can be scaled to different vehicle heights and lengths, resulting in customizable vehicles.
Bernat Costa, Design Director at EDAG Spain, comments that the pure design of the light panels complements the vehicle's functional purpose. The design establishes a First Hydrogen design signature and improves the vehicle's visibility for other road users in city and urban landscapes. The front view of the LCV features a smart digital panel for daytime running lights (DRL), offering outstanding visibility.
The rear elevation of the LCV reveals vertical taillights either side of the main cargo access point, accommodating different types of doors including tailgates, barn doors, and roller shutters. This flexibility in design ensures the LCV can cater to a wide range of needs.
Steve Gill, CEO of Automotive for First Hydrogen, is thrilled to reveal the preview of the next generation of zero-emission vehicles. He believes this vehicle will set a new standard in the LCV market.
First Hydrogen is collaborating with FEV Consulting GmbH to develop refuelling capabilities for the LCV. The company is also pursuing opportunities in green hydrogen production and distribution in the UK, EU, and North America.
The global light commercial vehicle market size was valued at USD 480.52 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 751.86 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period (2022-2030). This growth indicates a promising future for zero-emission vehicles like the LCV.
EDAG Group, the world's largest independent engineering service provider, was appointed by First Hydrogen to develop the design and styling for the Company's zero-emission LCV. The Company's Generation II design will reflect this operational flexibility, supporting First Hydrogen to become leaders in efficiency and progress for zero-emission vehicles.
While the name of the Design Director of EDAG Spain involved in the development of the next-generation zero-emission LCV by First Hydrogen is not mentioned in the available search results, the collaboration between First Hydrogen and EDAG Group promises an exciting future for zero-emission vehicles. The LCV, with its modular design and versatile applications, is set to revolutionize the LCV market.
