Swindon businesses welcome new hydrogen cars

Businesses in Swindon have had hydrogen cars delivered as part of a government scheme.

Arval, Nationwide and the National Trust received two Toyota Mirai and a Hyundai ix35 as part of the town’s Hydrogen Hub fuel cell technology project.

The vehicles will be used as company pool cars, and have been purchased with aid of a £150,000 grant from the Office of Low Emission Vehicles.

Clare Jackson, Hydrogen Hub Manager said: “Swindon is fast becoming one of the leading localities for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies and we’re delighted to see these new vehicles arriving in the town.

“Hydrogen technologies offer local communities clean sustainable energy for buildings and transportation and it’s great to see Swindon businesses leading the way.”
