Vancouver, B.C., November 29, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – First Hydrogen Corp. (“FIRST  HYDROGEN” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FHYD) (OTC: FHYDF) (FSE: FIT) is please to announce  twenty-one (21) fleet operators & industry specialists, from Europe and UK, attended the Company’s Track  Day at the HORIBA MIA proving grounding in England. Held on Tuesday October 31, attendees included  fleet managers from the grocery sector with participants from Asda and Sainsbury’s, parcel delivery company  DPD, NHS England, VINCI Group, mining conglomerate Anglo American, and Network Rail. Several  utilities providers including Wales & West Utilities, Northern Gas Networks, SGN & National Gas were also  present. 

The Track Day drew interest from vehicle leasing and rental companies, with ARVAL (BNP Paribas Group),  Novuna, and Redde Northgate attending, along with British motor trades residual value experts, Glass’s Guide.  In addition, representatives from Brit European Transport, National Windscreens & the Canal & River Trust.  Participating fleets operate more than half-million vehicles (est.). Research Nester estimates the global  hydrogen vehicle market size to expand at ~45% CAGR between 2023 and 2035, growing from US$1-billion  to US$45-billion.  

The event gave operators a unique opportunity to get behind the wheel of the Company’s hydrogen-fuel-cell  powered vehicle (FCEV). Twenty-nine (29) drivers each took the opportunity to drive on the MIRA track,  simulating different duty cycles and reaching speeds of up to 110 km per hour (70 miles per hour). Operators  experienced the vehicles’ smooth handling and appreciated the quiet drive. 

Drivers were also treated to a vehicle walk-round and under-the-hood viewing of First Hydrogen’s technology.  The Company’s partner, Ballard Power Systems, was present alongside First Hydrogen engineers to help  attendees understand how the vehicles’ fuel cells work. Participants asked searching questions about the  viability of hydrogen mobility, the maturity of hydrogen infrastructure and were presented with a review of  Total Costs of Operation (TCO) based on First Hydrogen data collected from vehicles used during recent demo  trials with UK fleets. Participants were quick to understand the TCO outlook, the benefits of FCEVs and how  they compare alongside other zero emission vehicle technology. 

First Hydrogen’s road trials with fleet specialists Rivus and energy company SSE plc have demonstrated the  impressive range the vehicles have, with a peak range of more than 630km (390 miles) on a single fuelling  achieved during journeys from Aberdeen. The real-world operational trials also showed the minimal effect  carrying heavy loads or driving at higher speeds had on vehicle range – crucial attributes for this vehicle class.  

Steve Gill, Executive Director Automotive at First Hydrogen, says: “We’re delighted with the high level  of interest we have received from UK fleet operators about our FCEVs and this enthusiasm was clearly present  at our first driving experience day. By engaging fleets in similar events, we are demonstrating our FCEV’s  capabilities to an audience who are on the road to zero emissions and can see a role for First Hydrogen  technology in achieving their targets. Their feedback will help us achieve buy-in from fleets, some of whom  are likely to become our Development Partners, helping us shape our future business and ultimately becoming  customers for our vehicles.”

Stephen Offley, Transport Manager at Wales & West Utilities, comments: “It was fantastic to see a  hydrogen vehicle of this weight class in action. We already know that hydrogen power will be essential to  meet the critical range, payload and towing capabilities required by public utilities and other users, which  cannot be met by battery-electric vans. This experience shows that adoption could soon become a reality and  will help operators to transition their whole fleets to zero emission technology.”

Vancouver, B.C., October 16, 2023 – Vancouver, British Columbia – First Hydrogen Corp. (“FIRST  HYDROGEN” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FHYD) (OTC: FHYDF) (FSE: FIT) is pleased to announce it  will be hosting its first ever track day for major UK fleet managers to showcase its unique hydrogen fuel cell  vehicles (FCEV). The event will provide an exclusive opportunity to test drive the Company’s hydrogen-fuel  cell powered light commercial vehicles (FCEVs) on the track at HORIBA MIRA, UK. 

Taking place at the end of October, First Hydrogen is set to welcome members from some 20 UK fleet  operators that collectively own and manage more than a quarter of a million fleet vehicles. All attendees will  have hands-on access to the first-of-their-kind 3.5-tonne FCEV and the chance to drive them. Complete with  technical presentations and a vehicle walkaround to showcase the under-the-hood technology, the day will  also provide attendees with the opportunity to discuss the practicalities of introducing the FCEVs into their  own zero-emission fleets. 

The vehicles have already undergone road trials with fleet management company Rivus and energy company  SSE and are currently undertaking operations with major parcel delivery companies. First Hydrogen has  already created an appetite for the vehicles with more than 15 major fleet operators who are on the waiting list  to trial the vehicles in their own fleets. The track event enables First Hydrogen to demonstrate the vehicles’  capabilities to multiple organizations in one day. This includes showcasing their impressive range of more  than 630km (400 miles) on a single refuelling, ease of driving and, thanks to efficient powertrain technology,  the ability to carry large payloads without compromising on the range in any weather conditions. 

In anticipation of its popularity, the invitation-only event targets major UK LCV fleet operators including  members of the UK Aggregated Hydrogen Freight Consortium (AHFC). The AHFC is a partnership of leading  UK hydrogen industry and mobility companies which is led by Element Energy with input from global  industrial members of UK H2Mobility. AHFC works with large fleet operators and the government to  accelerate the commercial roll-out of FCEVs and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure to decarbonize high 

mileage and heavy-duty van and truck fleets. Allied Market Research reported the global light commercial  vehicle market is projected to reach US$786.5 billion by 2030 and First Hydrogen’s vehicles will help the  sector meet its zero emission targets. 

Steve Gill, CEO for First Hydrogen Automotive, says: “We have been bowled over by the interest we’ve  received from fleet operators in trialling our vehicles, with more than 15 companies on the waiting list. The  race is on for fleets to meet emissions targets and this event gives these fleet managers the opportunity to get  behind the wheel and understand the range, use cases and benefits of FCEVs compared to other alternative  fuel vehicles. Our aim is for attending fleet managers and operational specialists to leave with a clearer view  on the capabilities of First Hydrogen our hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, which will inform decision making on  the purchase of zero emissions fleets.

“If we see sustained interest from prospective customers, there is potential for us to use this format as a  template for a series of similar track events in the future, with the ambition for us to take the vehicles into  Europe and North America.”
