Working in partnership with Mitie, the vehicle will be used on distribution for a number of their clients over the next six months. Over this time they will be monitoring its performance against the rest of their green fleet to determine the effect on total emission output.

Produced by Renault, the hydrogen van is powered by a battery and hydrogen fuel cell, allowing for travel of up to 200 miles. Hydrogen combines with the air to create electricity which is then used to drive the vehicle and charge the battery. This process means that only drops of pure water are emitted from the vehicle.

As well as the hydrogen van, CitySprint will continue to increase the size of their recently-launched green fleet to help clean up the capital and reduce carbon emissions.
