Partners with Canadian Hydrogen Storage Company ‘Hydrogen in Motion’.
Riding high on its green hydrogen production capability, Pune based h2e Power Systems is developing India’s first totally integrated hydrogen fuel cell 3-wheeler using PEM fuel cell & innovative hydrogen cylinders in collaboration with Canada based company ‘Hydrogen in Motion’.
The project is under a Indo-Canadian program funded by GITA (A PPP between Technology Development Board, Department of Science & Technology, and CII).
The hydrogen 3-wheeler concept targeted to inter-city public and goods transport integrating h2e’s fuel cell technology with a low-cost and low pressure (50bar) hydrogen cylinder which is a path-breaking technology developed by Hydrogen in Motion, Canada.
This innovative solution will bring a zero emission public transport vehicle, which would be competitive on costs with other technologies.
Sidharth R Mayur, founder & MD, h2e Power Systems, said, “India is on the cusp of a big e-Mobility revolution, and we are moving fast from fossil-based mobility to batteries and hydrogen. We are already producing green hydrogen from our electrolysers and now developing a 3-wheeler concept.”
Grace Quan, CEO, Hydrogen In Motion, said, “India is a natural market for our low pressure high density swappable Hydrogen tanks H2M technology can really be instrumental in hydrogen fuel cell adoption and address India’s energy needs with a zero emission technology.”
Amarnath Chakradeo, co-founder & executive director, added, “The high-pressure storage tanks always added to the challenges on the use of Hydrogen in mobility, both on cost and integration. With the innovative metal hydrite cylinders, we will bring down the cost of storage substantially and provide a higher mileage to the 3-wheeler owner & a better RoI”.
