H2X Global's Warrego is now undergoing final verification and validation testing procedures in the Netherlands, gaining European and global certification with Australian certification testing commencing soon.
H2X Global's CEO and founder, Brendan Norman, said the completion of the first Warrego pick-up was a milestone of success for the company. The Warrego follows the successful production and launch of a range of hydrogen fuel cell emergency power and industrial use generators.
“It is extremely satisfying that our team now have the Warrego running through the final stages of its engineering, safety and on-road verification program and production readiness... It is true that we have had some frustrating delays over the past nine months, however, we are now well on track with our rollout plans.”
Brendan Norman, CEO and Founder, H2X Global
"Supply chain issues, which have negatively impacted manufacturing companies worldwide, put us about nine months behind schedule, however, our production and engineering teams have done an amazing job to overcome these problems and we are now back on schedule."
The Warrego is H2X Global’s first application to demonstrate the company’s capabilities that will be used as a basis for the upcoming new H2X Darling Delivery Van in a couple of years. This will be the first of the fully developed and optimised vehicles from H2X.
“The Warrego is essentially a demonstration vehicle which we are able to offer to several customers in order to accelerate the availability of an AWD light commercial vehicles to customers, using a state-of-the-art Hybrid Hydrogen Fuel Cell System.”
Brendan Norman, CEO and Founder, H2X Global
The first release Warrego features a 60-kw fuel cell connected to a hybrid battery/supercapacitor electric drive system. This is connected to a 700-bar type 4 hydrogen tank system constructed of an advanced polymer and Carbon Fibre base; offering exceptional safety levels with very long standards of operation.
While this will allow the car to work at the lower 350 bar compression it has the capability to run at much higher compression rates which will double the range per tank.
The Warrego will be available to customers over the coming months and in line with the availability of hydrogen. Production of the vehicle will be undertaken in Europe and Australia at the H2X facility in Sale, Victoria.
