Peugeot will produce a Rüsselsheim, at Opel, his new vehicle powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. This is the e-Expert Hydrogen model, based on the modular multi-energy platform EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) by Stellantis.
The fuel cell allows for quick recharging; it takes three minutes to store the hydrogen needed to travel several hundred kilometers in purely electric mode. Peugeot e-Expert Hydrogen uses a new generation technology called “Next gen e-Van Hydrogen efficiency“. It is therefore a fully electric vehicle that combines two energy sources on board thanks to the innovative “mid-power plug-in hydrogen fuel cell electric”Specific to Stellantis. The technology combines a battery, rechargeable from the electricity grid, with the fuel cell powered by hydrogen, contained in the cylinders located under the vehicle floor.
The French brand has relied on Symbio for the supply of hydrogen fuel cells, produced in the Vénissieux plant, on the outskirts of Lyon. In the Peugeot van in particular there is a tank consisting of 3 cylinders, with a capacity of 4.4 kg of hydrogen at 700 bar pressure. This fuel cell is combined with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, with a capacity of 10.5 kWh and an output of 90 kW. Positioned under the seats, it also powers the electric motor during some driving phases. An 11 kW three-phase on-board battery charger is used for the power supply, located in the engine compartment.
These two energy sources work in synergy to power a permanent magnet electric motor, with a power of 100 KW (136 HP) which delivers a torque of 260 Nm. The model boasts up to 6.1m³ of cargo volume, up to 1100 kg of payload and up to 1000 kg of towing capacity. The high voltage battery is guaranteed for eight years or 160,000 km for at least 70% of its efficiency.
