We are currently attempting to set two new records for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) as part of Hydrogen Week, alongside partner companies, with a continuous five-day and five-night drive around the M25.
As a member company of the government-backed London Hydrogen Network Expansion project (LHNE), we are attempting to set new records for the longest journey on one tank of hydrogen (existing record 435 miles) and the longest continuous FCEV journey (6,024 miles).
The record attempts, which began on 14 March, are part of the project’s efforts to increase awareness of the benefits of hydrogen-fuelled cars and their environmental credentials. Hydrogen FCEVs produce no harmful tailpipe emissions with water being the only by-product. With range and refuelling times similar to those of petrol or diesel cars, they can be seen as direct replacements for conventional vehicles.
A series of drivers, including members of the media, have taken the wheel of a Hyundai ix35 Fuel Cell vehicle, and are currently attempting 50 clockwise laps of the M25.
