Electra Commercial Vehicles has today (January 16) announced a successful completion of a three-month hydrogen-powered refrigerated 19-tonne truck trial with UK supermarket Sainsbury’s.
Having supplied its eCargo Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) to the supermarket chain, H2 View understands the vehicle undertook a typical daily journey of 208 miles from Sainsbury’s depot in Sherburn-in-Elmet to Newcastle and back.
