AA takes onboard Mini Hydrogen Dispenser for FCEV breakdowns

The AA has taken delivery of a Mini Hydrogen Dispenser - an emergency fill option for stranded hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCV).  

Made by Fuel Cell Systems Ltd, the product is the equivalent of a “jerry can” of fuel and can dispense around 60 bar of hydrogen, providing 30-40 miles of additional range

The first production unit has been delivered to the AA, ready for incorporation into a world-first alternative re-fuel technical development vehicle, alongside a BEV emergency charge unit for EV breakdowns.

Funded by Innovate UK, the project was led by Beth Dawson, Major Projects Manager at Fuel Cell Systems, who commented, “We are delighted that the AA has agreed to incorporate this unit into their technical development vehicle. The support from the Innovate UK family has also been invaluable throughout the product development."
