H2Rescue: The Cutting-Edge Potential of Hydrogen Fuel Cell Emergency Vehicles

Meet our latest demo: H2Rescue.

H2Rescue is a #fuelcell emergency relief vehicle demonstration outfitted with an Accelera fuel cell engine.

The main goal for the H2Rescue project was to design, build, test and demonstrate a PEM fuel cell-battery-powered hybrid emergency relief truck that can complete a 180-mile round-trip to relief destinations and provide up to 25 KW of load following exportable power for a sustained period of up to 72 hours once on-site.

The prototype #hydrogen fuel cell emergency relief truck developed in this project can be evaluated at the federal, state, and local levels across multiple emergency responder communities and, if successful, could accelerate development and commercialization for a new vehicle product with improved capability for supporting emergency relief crews and the DoD.
