Production begins on new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen

The very first production Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen has left the production line – with WATEA by MICHELIN the first customer to take delivery of the vehicle.

The new Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen features a hydrogen fuel cell system combined with a 10.5kWh battery that helps power the electric motor. A full refuel with compressed hydrogen takes just three minutes, resulting in 249 miles (WLTP) of electric range, and a maximum speed of 80mph. 

The e-Expert Hydrogen is available in two lengths, Standard and Long. Both variants share identical load volumes with the diesel and petrol variants, with up to 6.1m3 of load capacity inside. With a maximum payload of up to 1,000kg and a towing capacity of 1,000kg – the e-EXPERT Hydrogen is a practical, zero emissions solution for a variety of businesses and fleets.

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 new model is built on the production lines of the Stellantis competence centre dedicated to hydrogen technology. It is not currently on sale in the UK.
