H2X Global has set a date for the launch of the company’s Australian developed hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle.
The Warrego’ Ute, will be unveiled at the global launch on Queensland’s Gold Coast in November 2021. H2X is already taking orders, with delivery slated for April 2022.
Warrego harnesses hydrogen power, shattering the myth that ‘green’ can’t compete with diesel.
Featuring a 200kW motor system, 66KW and optional 90KW fuel cell systems and 60-100KW output Energy Storage Systems between Battery and Super Capacitor units, the Warrego has from 500km driving range within a quick refuelling time of 3-5 minutes.
H2X’s vehicles are fitted with the revolutionary H2X Powertrain System which is developed with a vision to improve efficiency by maximising Kinetic Energy Usage and offering flexibility for different users dependent upon their needs.
Even though it’s a world first, H2X already has in place a wide network of support partners in Australia and developing in key locations around the world capable of providing accelerated distribution, servicing, and aftersales support.
The Warrego is the first in a range of uniquely designed and developed fuel cell electric vehicles which will be released by H2X over the next 24 months.
According to H2X founder and CEO, Brendan Norman, the H2X range has been designed to meet a growing demand among vehicle owners for efficient, cost effective and sustainable cars, trucks, buses and other forms of transport.
“We believe we are the first Australian company to produce a commercially viable vehicle to meet those demands,” Brendan said.
Leading a revolution
With the unique H2X Hybrid Fuel Cell System, a vehicle can run on pure hydrogen, which drastically reduces refuelling time and increases driving range and hydrogen efficiency.
H2X’s fuel cell technology is based on decades of experience in vehicle development and is targeted at high use vehicles for commercial and sharing purposes where the availability of the vehicle is key.
Hydrogen fuel cells have become a major focus globally given the technology advancements that have enabled hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) to refuel more quickly and travel longer distances.
FCEVs offer the ability to be refuelled in a similar style and speed to traditional vehicles, and this level of convenience lends itself well to professional vehicles that cannot afford to be off the road for long periods as is the case with battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
H2X is pushing into new markets, with a series of products due for release in the coming months that will show new ways of working with hydrogen and bringing clean energy to many different applications in cities.
With a diverse range of products off a common platform, H2X can quickly support financially sound business cases for hydrogen rather than battery electric for commercial vehicles. BEVs currently have long charging times, limited expected life, and issues with the disposal of lithium batteries.
Unlike traditional pilot projects, H2X’s unique product range will support a diverse range of units offering several options in any location to allow for hydrogen refuelling facilities to reach critical volume to be cost efficient within a year of operation, globally setting the pace for hydrogen rollout programs.
“H2X works with hydrogen infrastructure providers and forward-thinking industries to establish ecosystems which are cost effective from the start, where we look to offer multiple applications of vehicles to make it easy to reach a critical mass in one location,” H2X CEO Brendan Norman said.
“This supports not only the refuelling exercise, but also allows us to establish high-quality after sales operations in all locations where our customers will be using hydrogen. Hydrogen ecosystems deliver opportunities for a wide range of products to be delivered quickly – our products focus on this market.”
H2X is a global leader in hydrogen vehicles including utes, motorbikes, trains, delivery vehicles and ships.
The company is preparing for a listing on a major global exchange in late 2021/early 2022 and is currently undertaking a capital raising as it works to position itself as a world premium hydrogen vehicle manufacturer.
