Opel has rolled the first Vivaro-e Hydrogen off the production line.
The vehicle will begin its zero-emissions-in-use work in the fleet the manufacturer of premium domestic appliances, Miele, in the Rhine-Main region of Germany.
The Vivaro-e Hydrogen is based on the existing battery electric Opel Vivaro-e, except here it is powered by a fuel cell. With full tanks of hydrogen, the driving range is more than 400km.
The Opel Vivaro-e Hydrogen takes only three minutes to refuel with hydrogen - about the same time needed to fill up a conventional diesel or petrol vehicle.
The fuel cell is further supported by a 10.5kWh lithium-ion battery which provides dynamic peak power when required, such as during start-up and under acceleration, allowing the fuel cell to run at optimum operating conditions. This battery also enables regenerative braking, and additional plug-in capability offers the opportunity to recharge the battery externally if necessary, e.g. at a charging station, providing 50km of pure battery electric range.
Thanks to smart packaging, the Vivaro-e Hydrogen demands no compromises on space compared to the combustion engine versions. The fuel cell electric LCV is available in two different lengths and offers a maximum 1,000kg of payload.
