British-Canadian start-up First Hydrogen has received approval to test its fuel cell vans on a fleet-wide basis, starting in January 2023.

The company uses the Man eTGE as the basis for its vans, converting each example from a battery-electric powertrain to an electric hydrogen fuel cell using parts from Ballard Power Systems.

This greatly increases the reach of the eTGE; from the original 71.5 miles to the 248-372 miles claimed by First Hydrogen, this discrepancy is likely dependent on conditions such as payload and speed.

First Hydrogen also cites reduced downtime as a key benefit of fuel cells, which take five minutes to refuel.
