German breakdown service ADAC has purchased its first hydrogen powered vehicle for its roadside assistance agents in the Berlin region.
The HydroGen4, manufactured by Opel (General Motors in the US, and Vauxhall in the UK) will be the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicle used by a breakdown service.
The only emission of hydrogen fuel-cell powered vehicles is water.
Eight other Opel partners in Germany (Allianz, Axel Springer, Coca Cola, Hilton, Linde, Schindler, Total und Veolia) have signed up for a HyrdoGen4 vehicle, and all of them will gather daily information to help Opel engineers further optimise the vehicle’s technology.
Hundreds of similar tests will be conducted across Europe, with fuel-cell powered vehicles expected to be available for public purchase by 2015.
