Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen makes its mark in zero-emission technology
The new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen is technologically innovative and has a strong character.
Peugeot became one of the very first manufacturers to offer, in addition to its combustion and battery electric versions, a hydrogen fuel cell powered version in the commercial vehicle segment.
Linda Jackson, CEO of the Peugeot brand, said, “With the e-Expert Hydrogen, Peugeot is taking the lead in a future zero-emission technology that is particularly relevant to the light commercial vehicle market: hydrogen electric technology allows intensive daily use without the need for recharging, a decisive advantage for professionals who, in a single day, have to cover several hundred kilometres on the motorway and then enter emission-restricted urban areas. The hydrogen technology developed by Stellantis and implemented in our Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen makes such uses possible.”
The Peugeot hydrogen van stands out thanks to the perfect integration of the entire “mid-power plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric” system in its engine compartment and underbody, specific to Stellantis. The result: no compromise in terms of load volume, and a low centre of gravity, a guarantee of stability, safety and agility. It consists of:
• A fuel cell producing the electricity needed to propel the vehicle thanks to the hydrogen on board the tank
• A high-voltage lithium-ion rechargeable battery with a capacity of 10.5kWh, which can be recharged from the electricity grid and which also powers the electric engine in certain driving phases
The new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen is distinguished by:
• Its ability to cover all distances without local CO2 emissions
• Its ability to fill up with hydrogen in three minutes for more than 400km of autonomy in the WLTP homologation cycle (under homologation)
• A charging socket for the high-voltage battery
• Two lengths available (standard and long) with the same loading volume characteristics as the diesel and battery electric versions
• Up to 6.1m³ load volume
• Up to 1 000kg payload
• Up to 1 000kg of towing capacity
• Its adaptability to all road and motorway conditions, with a maximum speed of 130km/h
The e-Expert Hydrogen is the latest symbol of the brand’s “extended power of choice” strategy, enabling customers to choose from a wide range of engines that are best suited to their specific needs.
The new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen is technologically innovative and has a strong character. It can be driven anywhere, even in city centres, silently and without CO2 emissions, and requires no compromise in terms of useful performance, comfort or driving pleasure.
With this new e-Expert Hydrogen, Peugeot is positioning itself as a major player in this energy challenge.
