Air Products welcomed the Commercial Group to its Smartfuel® hydrogen fuelling station at Heathrow airport, London, on 20th January to fuel the Group’s first London-based hydrogen hybrid Ford Transit delivery van.
The fuelling was one of many to come as Commercial Group will continue to use the Air Products Smartfuel® station for its growing hydrogen hybrid delivery fleet.
Deployed by Revolve Technologies and operated by Commercial Group, the van is the first of a fleet of hydrogen hybrid internal combustion engine transit vehicles that will soon be deployed in London. The fleet will be delivered as part of the Technology Strategy Board funded London Hydrogen Network Expansion (LHNE) project. The initial van is currently undergoing a test period before the fleet is fully rolled-out over the coming months.
The vans will be used by Commercial Group’s office supplies division, which provides a next day delivery service to customers across the UK. Described by Revolve as a ’specially built demonstration vehicle’, the vans will promote low carbon transport and are designed to show that hydrogen, as a fuel, can be deployed in real life commercial operations.
