First Hydrogen has revealed plans for its Generation II concept vehicle, designed with either fuel cell electric or battery electric drive trains.

The plant will be used for the assembly of LCVs as well as for the production of 50MW of green hydrogen using advanced electrolysis technology.

First Hydrogen’s HFC-powered LCVs recently received type approval certification from the Vehicle Certification Authority (VCA) in Britain.
