The world’s leading hydrogen fuel cell vehicle manufacturer, H2X Global, recently unveiled its first fully designed vehicle, the Darling Van, and it received a positive review from one of the world’s biggest automotive websites, CarSales.com Limited.
H2X developed the vehicle in partnership with global automotive engineering giant, KTM Technologies.
Highlights:
- H2X is claiming the prototype will cover up to 400km on a full tank of hydrogen before needing refuelling, making it competitive with battery-electric offerings like the Mercedes-Benz EQV (418km WLTP).
- The Hydrogen Professional Van features a wealth of practical and tech-savvy features, including sliding side doors and rear barn doors, 5G connectivity, a 360-degree camera and all the usual driver aids like blind spot monitoring, aero wheels and LED exterior lighting.
- While H2X was primarily responsible for the powertrain development, the partnership between it and KTM is focusing on the development of strong and lightweight vehicle bodies made from rolled T4/T6 aluminium.
- Word is the Hydrogen Professional Van was one of the conference’s big talking points, with H2X Global co-founder and chief design officer Chris Reitz declaring the “overwhelming response” an acknowledgement of the firm’s “pivotal role in pioneering hydrogen mobility solutions”.
The announcement marks a major step forward for H2X, as the van will be its first fully designed and developed vehicle, giving it greater market speed and increased profitability.
With its unique origami chassis and plug-and-play powertrain, the Darling Van reduces manufacturing costs, improves profit margins, and delivers a top-notch vehicle with stellar operational outputs. Once complete, H2X will roll this out across multiple vehicle classes.
