Ford Motor Company's three-year hydrogen fuel cell E-Transit trial testing hydrogen fuel cell technology on commercial vehicles in a small UK-based prototype fleet. The project aims to establish whether hydrogen fuel cell technology can deliver improved zero-emission driving range for E-Transit customers with energy-intensive use cases.

Advanced composite material developed by Haydale that combines graphene with carbon fiber to create stronger, lighter materials for pressure vessel construction, enabling the construction of impermeable pressure vessels.

Viritech's proprietary integrated mounting system for hydrogen pressure vessels that reduces cost and weight by integrating mountings directly into the vessel structure, allowing them to be bolted directly to the vehicle chassis.

Ford's hydrogen fuel cell-powered version of the E-Transit commercial van, being developed and tested as part of the FCVGEN 2.0 project. Ford Pro is designing, developing, and building a fleet of eight hydrogen fuel cell-powered Transit vans.
