WORLD PREMIERE OPEL MOVANO
WORLD PREMIERE FOR NEW OPEL MOVANO HYDROGEN AT
IAA TRANSPORTATION SHOW IN HANOVER
Opel is opening the next exciting chapter for its large transporter, the new Opel Movano, which is currently available with efficient diesel and all-electric powertrains. The new Opel Movano HYDROGEN will celebrate its world premiere at the IAA Transportation Show in Hanover, from 17th to 22nd September. With the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle, the German brand is showing how an innovative drive concept with a range of more than 500km (WLTP) can deliver everyday business needs, without compromise. The new Movano HYDROGEN now joins the Opel Vivaro HYDROGEN, to extend the brand’s offer of vehicles with fuel cell propulsion.
The new Opel Movano HYDROGEN debuts at this year’s IAA Transportation Show in Hanover.
The new Opel Movano HYDROGEN is the ideal solution for fleet customers who want to travel long distances, emissions free, but who rely on quick refuelling times. The principle of the Movano HYDROGEN is simple: the fuel cell uses hydrogen and air to generate electricity to drive the electric motor. The only product of this reaction is pure water vapor that comes out of the exhaust. It is therefore an electric vehicle that, thanks to its drive technology, emits zero CO2 while driving.
With the plug-in fuel cell concept of the Movano HYDROGEN, the entire fuel cell system is located under the bonnet and under the floor. The Movano HYDROGEN is fitted with four underbody 700 bar hydrogen cylinders. These can be filled with hydrogen in under 5 minutes and enable a driving distance of up to 500km (WLTP). Thanks to efficient packaging, the cargo volume remains fully intact and, depending on the body variant, ranges from 13 (for L3H2) to a maximum of 17 cubic metres (for L4H3). The Movano HYDROGEN can carry a payload of up to 1,370kg.
The new Opel Movano, already available with efficient diesel and all-electric powertrains, is now available to order with fuel cell technology.
The Movano HYDROGEN's 45 kW fuel cell offers enough power for continuous driving on the motorway. The electric motor delivers 110kW (150hp) of power and a maximum torque of 410 Newton meters. Up to 90 km/h is possible with the Movano HYDROGEN. When starting or accelerating, the 11kWh lithium-ion high-voltage battery, which is located under the front seats, provides support to cover peak loads. This means the fuel cell system always works under optimal operating conditions, which increases its service life.
In addition, the Movano HYDROGEN offers the great advantage of a hybrid system: braking energy can be recuperated and fed into the battery as electricity via the electric motor (generator). And thanks to the plug-in option, the battery can also be charged externally if necessary to extend the overall range.
With the Movano HYDROGEN, which will soon be available, customers can then choose from three different drive alternatives for the largest Opel commercial vehicle. The innovative hydrogen fuel cell vehicle is produced on the same production line as its battery-electric or efficient diesel siblings. Opel thus has the right option for practically every usage profile.

In addition, the new Opel Combo Electric, sporting a fresh new look, and the battery-electric Opel Rocks Electric quadricycle with KARGO kit for delivery services, will also be on display in Hanover, at the joint Stellantis Pro One stand C70 in Hall 13. The commercial vehicle trio will be presented at the leading trade fair for logistics, commercial vehicles and the transport sector during the press conference on Monday, September 16, from 11:20a.m.
