Ryze Hydrogen and Vauxhall are set to transform the landscape of fleet operations by introducing innovative hydrogen charging solutions.
This collaboration is a pivotal component of Vauxhall’s overarching hydrogen strategy, designed to establish a robust and widespread hydrogen refueling infrastructure across the UK. The venture precedes anticipated fleet trials for Vauxhall’s Vivaro HYDROGEN in the UK in 2024, with orders for the hydrogen variant of the Movano, Vauxhall’s largest light commercial vehicle, expected to open later this year.
The primary goal of the collaboration between Ryze Hydrogen and Vauxhall is to provide fleet operators with seamless and practical hydrogen charging solutions. By integrating hydrogen vehicles into their fleets, businesses can contribute to a cleaner and sustainable future. The partnership aims to address the unique needs of corporate fleet operators, offering tailored solutions to support their net-zero ambitions.
Vauxhall’s commitment to making hydrogen a cornerstone of its net-zero strategy is evident in this collaboration. The introduction of the Movano Hydrogen, slated for fleet and business customer orders in the coming year, represents a significant step towards offering practical, long-range, and zero-emission vehicles. With Ryze’s expertise in green hydrogen production and supply, Vauxhall aims to position itself as a leader in hydrogen mobility.
Recognizing the diversity of businesses and their operational requirements, Ryze Hydrogen emphasizes providing flexible charging solutions. From on-site solutions to designated facilities, the collaboration aims to cater to the varying needs of fleet operators. This approach ensures that businesses can seamlessly incorporate hydrogen vans into their fleets with accessible charging options at convenient locations.
Hydrogen-powered Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs) offer zero-emission efficiency without compromising payload capacity or refueling speed. This is particularly advantageous for large vans like the Vauxhall Movano, designed for depot-to-depot movements. The collaboration with Ryze ensures that charging solutions are aligned with the specific requirements of corporate fleet operators, contributing to a sustainable and efficient transportation ecosystem.
Ryze Hydrogen’s involvement in low-carbon hydrogen production and dispensing facilities, exemplified by projects like the one in Bradford, signifies a commitment to advancing hydrogen infrastructure. The company operates affordable hydrogen distribution infrastructure for commercial vehicles, contributing to the growth and accessibility of hydrogen refueling facilities.
