Vauxhall Movano Hydrogen to go on sale in spring 2025

Vauxhall will launch a hydrogen powered version of its Movano large van next year.

The Movano Hydrogen will be priced from £66,450 (ex VAT), when it goes on sale in spring.

It offers a zero exhaust emissions solution with a range of up to 311 miles (WLTP).

The Movano Hydrogen benefits from more than 20 years of knowledge in the development of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles at Vauxhall-Opel and Stellantis. The Movano Hydrogen will complement the existing Vauxhall line-up of battery electric vans - the Combo Electric, Vivaro Electric and Movano Electric. 

It uses an electric motor producing maximum power of 150PS and 410Nm. The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell, rated at 45kW maximum power, is paired with four high-pressure cylindrical hydrogen tanks capable of storing 7Kg of hydrogen at 700 bar operating pressure. Refuelling takes less than five minutes.

An 11kWh lithium-ion battery provides support when starting or accelerating. The system enables braking energy to be stored and fed into the battery as electricity via the electric motor working as a generator. The battery can also be re-charged in approximately 90 minutes using an 11kW AC charger.

Like the rest of the Movano range, the Hydrogen version is available in Prime specification. It comes equipped with an upgraded multimedia navigation system featuring a 10-inch touchscreen, rear parking sensors, keyless entry and six-way adjustable drivers seat with lumbar support.

Prices for the Movano Hydrogen L3 H2 Panel Van start at £66,450 OTR (ex VAT, after Plug-in Van Grant), while the L4 H3 Panel Van is available from £68,070 OTR (ex VAT, after PiVG). Orders are set to open in spring 2025.
