First Hydrogen Corp. is partnering with Wales & West Utilities (WWU), Protium Green Solutions (Protium), and Hyppo Hydrogen Solutions (Hyppo) to build a functional ecosystem, using a redeployable refueller and delivered green hydrogen, to provide the flexibility and speed during the current vehicle trial. This "ready to go" resource allows First Hydrogen's hydrogen- powered-fuel-cell vehicle (FCEV) to deliver normal operations, a crucial step in the rollout of FCEVs in future.

In addition to exploring the FCEV's suitability for WWU's requirements, the trial also aims to provide a blueprint that could be replicated in other locations, or to transition trials to full adoption. Currently, one of the main barriers to the adoption of hydrogen is the availability of both hydrogen itself and refuelling infrastructure in suitable locations. This trial uses hydrogen produced at Protium's Pioneer 1 facility, one of the first hydrogen production facilities in the UK, and Hyppo's Fuel Cell Systems HyQube redeployable refueller infrastructure.

This provides the flexibility and rapid deployment to bring trials online quickly.
