Stellantis to start in-house production of hydrogen fuel cell large- and mid-sized vans

Via the newly-created Stellantis Pro One brand, the global automotive player Stellantis announced the start of in-house production of hydrogen fuel cell large- and mid-sized vans, with large van lineup will complement existing hydrogen solution for mid-size van lineup.

The hydrogen-powered vehicles will be produced both in Hordain (France) and Gliwice (Poland). Stellantis and its brands are leveraging a full range of advanced electrified propulsion, safety, ADAS and connectivity technologies to provide a stress-free environment for drivers and a reliable business partner to commercial owners.

Fuel cell light commercial vehicles in Stellantis’ global vision

Aimed at supporting intensive customer use, the fuel cell versions of the commercial vans build on the technology used in the zero-emission BEV variants of the vehicles, with the added advantages of short refueling times and no sacrifice of payload capability. For the mid-size vans, a second generation of the fuel cell system delivers a segment record range of up to 400 km and refueling time of less than four minutes. For the large vans, the addition of fuel cell technology brings range capability of up to 500 km and refueling time of just five minutes.
