The very first production hydrogen vehicle from Peugeot left the production line on December 13th 2021 - with the Michelin group the first customer of the revolutionary new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen. With the e-Expert Hydrogen Peugeot has become one of the very first manufacturers to offer in addition to its combustion and battery electric variants a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in the commercial vehicle segment. The Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen van integrates a new hydrogen fuel cell electric powertrain in the engine compartment and underbody - resulting in no compromise in terms of load volume compared to the diesel variants of the Expert and a low centre of gravity - improving vehicle stability and safety. The e-Expert Hydrogen is the latest development of Peugeot s Extended power of choice strategy enabling customers to choose from a wide range of powertrains that best meets their needs. Peugeot s e-Expert Hydrogen model comes just 15 months after the launch of the battery-powered e-Expert which was named International Van of the Year in early 2021 and is the sixth Peugeot vehicle to win this prestigious award since 1992. The new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen features a hydrogen fuel cell system combined with a 10.5kWh battery that helps power the electric motor. A full refuel with compressed hydrogen takes just three minutes resulting in 249 miles (WLTP) of electric range and a maximum speed of 80mph.
