Renault Master Van H2-TECH prototype. Hydrogen.

Renault Master Van H2-TECH prototype. It is a large van for transporting goods and packages, with 12m3 of cargo volume and a range of up to 500km, available in 2022. Master Van H2-TECH is equipped with a 30kW fuel cell, a 33kWh battery and tanks containing 6kg of hydrogen (4 tanks of 1,5 kg). HYVIA’s Hydrogen Refueling Station allows fast fueling time: 5 minutes, as simple as thermic, to maximize vehicle availability. The way this station operate is simple: Hydrogen supplied will either be generated on-site using water electrolysis or supplied in bulk using gaseous tube trailers. The system compresses H2 into storage, before dispensing it into the vehicle when needed. HYVIA’s Hydrogen Refuelling Stations will be available to purchase, lease or rent. They will be assembled in France, at Flins factory. These prototypes are a first illustration of the HYVIA ecosystem including green hydrogen production (electrolyzers) and distribution (Hydrogen refuelling Station), with a range of fuel cell-powered light commercial vehicles (Van, Chassis Cab and Citybus), complementary to battery electric vehicles. Next prototypes to come: Master Chassis Cab H2-TECH: a large van with even more cargo space (19m3) and a range of about 250km. Master Citybus H2-TECH: an urban minibus that can carry up to 15 passengers, ideal for businesses, municipalities, and local public services, with a range of about 300km.
