NPROXX has worked closely with ULEMCo to assist in the design of the conversion, deriving a design solution that places the hydrogen storage tank in the roof space of the ambulance.
This will give the ambulance a payload of up to 900kg while offering a low-floor chassis for easy patient access.
Named ZERRO, the prototype vehicle will be powered by a combination of a 30kW fuel cell with NPROXX’s type IV pressure vessel and a 400V 92kWh battery.
The fuel cell will act as a range-extender to charge the battery when needed and will give the ZEROO an expected average daily range of 200 miles and a top speed of 90mph.
Philipp Breuer, Sales Manager (Automotive & Heavy-Duty Vehicles) at NPROXX, said, “Emergency ambulances need to be ready to go at any time, so speed of re-fuelling and range are key factors when looking to transition these vehicles to a decarbonized energy source.
