“I am so pleased with this delivery of 16 Opel Vivaro-e Hydrogen in the Netherlands, once again confirming Stellantis postion as front runner in mass-produced hydrogen commercial vehicles.

Why the choice fell on the Opel Vivaro-e HYDROGEN

“We see a major role for hydrogen in the transition to sustainable energy sources and fuels. We have had hydrogen cars in our company since 2019, currently with around thirty vehicles altogether, including tractors and large mobile cranes. We are delighted to now be adding sixteen Opel Vivaro-e HYDROGEN light commercial vehicles to our fleet”, added Robert Scholman, co-owner of Jos Scholman.

The zero emissions Opel Vivaro-e HYDROGEN is based on the battery-electric Opel Vivaro-e. It has a range of 400 km (WLTP) and takes approximately five minutes to refuel.
