    “Zero-emission operation 24/7” – light commercial vehicles with hydrogen-fuel cell drives

    For commercial needs, customers expect zero-emission powertrains with a long range and low total operating costs.

    Their operating model does not allow for long idle times due to electric charging. With hydrogen, rapid refueling is possible within three minutes at ranges of over 400 kilometers.

    The central function of light commercial vehicles, being able to transport large and heavy loads, is retained in Opel's drive concept. Load volume and payload are just as high as with combustion engine versions.
