Cadent upgrades fleet with new hydrogen-powered and electric vehicles

Cadent has upgraded its fleet with ten hydrogen fuel cell and electric vehicles (EVs).

The five electric vans and five hydrogen response cars will be used by engineers to patrol the company's North London network, which also includes parts of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Surrey and Essex.

The hydrogen-fuelled Hyundai vehicles will have a range of almost 400 miles - for the electric fuel cell electric vans Cadent has chosen the Nissan e-NV200.

The new vehicles have been bought as part of Cadent’s commitment to have 1,000 zero emission vehicles across all its networks by 2026.

Cadent Fleet Specialist, Dominic Stephens, said: “The new hydrogen fuel cell cars and e-vans are a first for Cadent and represent a major step forward in working to achieving our RIIO 2 environmental goals. In tandem with this, we’re also working to develop a range of other transport technologies to reduce our carbon footprint.”
