Stylantis and Hype join forces to create hydrogen-powered taxis

Stellantis and Hype have announced a partnership to supply and operate hydrogen-powered vehicles.

The first phase will see the delivery of 50 zero-emission disabled persons' (PRM) taxis in Paris, France. The vehicles, which can carry five passengers and a wheelchair, have a range of 249 miles, a three-minute hydrogen refuelling time and are 100% electric hybrids, using rechargeable batteries and a hydrogen fuel cell system.

By the end of 2024, the two companies will have the capacity to deploy up to 1,000 PRM hydrogen taxis, which will be linked to the "Paris PRM Taxi" operating licence introduced by the French authorities.
