VAUXHALL has announced pricing and specification for its Movano Hydrogen, the latest addition to the Vauxhall electric and hydrogen vehicle line-up, offering zero exhaust emissions solution with a range of up to 311 miles.
Available in Prime specification, prices start from £66,450 with orders opening in Spring 2025.
The Movano Hydrogen benefits from more than 20 years of knowledge in the development of Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at Vauxhall-Opel and Stellantis.
The Movano Hydrogen will complement the existing Vauxhall line-up of battery electric vans - the Combo Electric, Vivaro Electric and Movano Electric. Vauxhall has offered an electric version across its entire LCV model range since 2021.
Equipped with an electric motor producing maximum power of 150ps, the Movano Hydrogen can store 7kg of Hydrogen at 700 bar operating pressure. Refueling can be done quickly and the vehicle takes less than five minutes to achieve a full charge.
An11kWh lithium-ion battery provides support when starting or accelerating. The system enables braking energy to be stored and fed into the battery as electricity via the electric motor working as a generator. The battery can also be re-charged in approximately 90 minutes using an 11kW AC charger.
The Hydrogen version is equipped with an upgraded multimedia navigation system featuring a 10-inch touchscreen with integrated TomTom satellite navigation system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, AM/FM/DAB digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and two USB connections.
Drivers can also operate the infotainment system via natural voice control for added convenience while a seven-inch digital instrument cluster provides driving information.
Interior features include rear parking sensors for effortless manoeuvering, automatic air conditioning, an electric parking brake and twin-lens door mirrors with electrically adjustable and heated upper mirrors.
This year, Vauxhall began UK customer trials of the Vivaro Hydrogen, which is already sold in left-hand drive markets by Vauxhall's sister brand, Opel, making it the first commercially available production Hydrogen van.
A range of companies, including some of the UK's largest fleets, are taking part in the trial ahead of the UK launch of the Movano Hydrogen.
Prices for the Movano Hydrogen L3 H2 Panel Van start at £66,450 (exc. VAT, after Plug-in Van Grant), while the L4 H3 Panel Van is available from £68,070.
