While the electric Fan boys and girls rotate endlessly in denial it is happening right here in Canberra as Hydrogen cars arrive for Govt.New Hyundai Nexo 2021: First fleet of hydrogen fuel-cell electric SUVs arrives in Australia
The Nexo has been a long time coming, but it’s finally here – kind of.Hyundai Australia has received its first shipment of hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) destined for an external zero-emissions fleet.
The FCEVs in question are Nexo mid-size SUVs, which were ordered by the ACT government four years ago as part of its Hornsdale Wind Farm Stage 3 project.
With the Nexo’s official arrival, it is the first FCEV to be approved for sale in Australia, following its Australian Design Rules (ADR) certification. It also lands with a five-star safety rating from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).
That said, the keys to the fleet of 20 Nexos won’t be handed over to the ACT government until the third quarter of this year, when Australia’s first public and permanent hydrogen refuelling station will open in Canberra.
Additional sites are on the way, including in Melbourne and Brisbane by the end of this year. Locations in NSW, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania are also planned.
Read and be thrilled the future is arriving in Australia,
