Proton Motor's HyRange System for buses and light duty vehicles
has received road approval in Germany
Proton Power is pleased to announce, that its HyRange Fuel Cell
System, integrated in a Newton electric truck, has received the
official approval and homologation for road service from the German
authorities in accordance with European regulation 79/2009. The
approval covers the HyRange Fuel Cell System as well as the vehicle
platform.
The vehicle can now be operated without limitation in
Europe.
The HyRange system, developed by Proton Power, was integrated
into the Newton 7.5 to 12 ton electric truck. The vehicle was
tested in Germany for 24 months in order to prove its
reliability.
Germany currently has 15 hydrogen fuelling stations in operation
and plans to expand the network to 100 stations by the end of 2018
and 400 stations by 2023.
John Wall, Chairman of Proton, said: "We are very pleased to
have finalised the complex process of road approval for our HyRange
system. This allows the regular operation of the vehicle with our
fuel cell range extender and significantly extends the operating
range and on board power of an electric truck. It also opens the
door for the operation of such vehicles in commercial applications
and demonstrates to customers that HyRange is ready for regular
operation. The HyRange system addresses the needs of bus and light
duty vehicle manufacturers. The continued expansion of filling
stations in Germany and Europe will support the market introduction
of hydrogen fuel cell technology for mobile applications."
