Birmingham firm drives hydrogen vehicle demand
With Birmingham 's clean air zone launching, a leading fuel cell company has introduced a new lease programme for ultra-clean zero emission hydrogen vehicles.
Birmingham-based Adelan, the UK 's oldest fuel cell firm, has forged a partnership with Green Tomato Cars and Toyota to offer a reliable alternative to battery electric vehicles that still meet all the requirements of the city 's new Clean Air Zone.
Using hydrogen, fuel cell technology releases just water from the tail pipe and meets even the most stringent air quality standards.
For those looking to contribute to a cleaner future, avoid clean air zone charges and eliminate the worrying range issues associated with battery vehicles, with 25 Toyota Mirai fuel cell vehicles available to lease Adelan offers the perfect solution.
Adelan 's zero emission vehicle offer comes as Birmingham unveils another UK hydrogen refuelling station, 15 years after Adelan co-Founder Kevin Kendall opened the first hydrogen station in Britain.
Now open at the Tyseley Energy Park in the south east of the city, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles like the Toyota Mirai are easily refuelled in just a few minutes for extended range operations of up to 400 miles on a full tank.
Dr Michaela Kendall (pictured), CEO of Adelan, said: “Leasing these fuel cell vehicles from Adelan will allow drivers to make a real contribution to improving air quality in Birmingham and beyond.
“We 're very pleased to work with our clean vehicle partners at Green Tomato Cars and Toyota to demonstrate the real-world capabilities of fuel cell technology and hydrogen as we move towards a cleaner future.
“Transport is a key contributor to poor urban air quality and the known health risks that result. It 's therefore vital that the sector responds with a technology that can not only address pressing environmental concerns but can do that whilst remaining cost-effective.
“By making the choice of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles affordable and easily available, Adelan and Toyota are doing just that. ”
