Vauxhall reveals pricing and specification for Movano Hydrogen
Vauxhall has announced full pricing and specification for the Movano Hydrogen ahead of orders opening in spring 2025.
Debuted at IAA Transportation 2024 in Hanover last September, 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 is equipped with an electric motor producing maximum power of 150hp (110kW) and 410Nm of torque, delivering smooth and efficient performance.
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. Its 311-mile official range makes it a practical choice for long-distance journeys while refuelling takes less than five minutes to achieve a full charge.
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 recharged in some 90 minutes using an 11kW AC charger.
Sold alongside the existing diesel and electric versions of the Movano, the hydrogen version will also be solely available in Prime specification. Equipment on the hydrogen version includes an upgraded multimedia navigation system featuring a 10-inch touchscreen with integrated TomTom sat-nav system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, AM/FM/DAB digital radio, Bluetooth connectivity, and two USB connections. The infotainment system can be operated via natural voice control for added convenience and drivers also get a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and electric power steering.
The cabin is also equipped with a six-way adjustable driver’s seat with lumbar support and an armrest, as well as a dual passenger bench seat.
Additional features include keyless entry and go, rear parking sensors, automatic air conditioning, an electric parking brake and twin-lens door mirrors with electrically adjustable and heated upper mirrors. The cabin also comes with two cupholders and a mobile phone compartment in the centre of the lower dashboard.
Prices for the Movano Hydrogen start at £66,450 OTR (excl. VAT but incl. PiVG) in L3 H2 panel van guise while the L4 H3 panel van is available from £68,070 OTR (excl. VAT, incl. PiVG).
This year, Vauxhall began UK customer trials of the Vivaro Hydrogen, which is already sold in left-hand drive markets by Vauxhall sister brand, Opel, making it the first commercially available production hydrogen van. A range of companies, including some of the UK’s largest fleets, are taking part in the trial ahead of the UK launch of the Movano Hydrogen.
The Movano Hydrogen will complement the existing Vauxhall line-up of battery electric vans – the Combo Electric, Vivaro Electric and Movano Electric. Vauxhall has offered an electric version across its entire LCV model range since 2021.
