Ford Motor Company will begin a three-year hydrogen-powered E-Transit vehicle trial in partnership with bp, Cambustion, Viritech and Cygnet Texkimp.

Ford Pro, the company’s commercial vehicle (CV) and services division will use the pilot project to expand its conversion expertise, and the trials will involve a low-volume test fleet of eight fuel cell Ford E-Transits running for a six-month period, over the three-year project, until 2025 at the company’s Dunton Technical Centre in Essex.
