GM500 H2 Hydrogen City Sweeping Machines in France
Written by Chris Kwacz
GM 500 H2 is the world’s first-ever hydrogen fuel cell sweeper, 100% powered by hydrogen. The fuel cell converts oxygen and hydrogen into electricity that powers the sweeper and the only by-product of its usage is clean water. The unique feature of this sweeper is that it enables you to switch to hydrogen even if you lack the hydrogen refueling infrastructure. It’s got everything its predecessor 500ze has to offer, only with one big difference – it runs on hydrogen! The best part? You can request an offer to swap the batteries in your 500ze with one of the two hydrogen options.
The company started to present their product just Digitally by the end of year 2020 because of the pandemic restrictions. Now, they are moving on with the very first "Hydrogene Tour" started in Bretagne, western part of France and then moving on to south and north of the country. The GM500 Sweeper from Green Machines could be spotted on the streets of Rennes, Nantes. Lyon and Paris, presenting the ultimate green solution to as many people as possible.
GM 500 H2 Could use cartridge system with H2-PODS (refill wherever and whenever no H2 infrastructure needed) or with fixed hydrogen tank system (refueling takes just a few minutes) It have max speed of 25km/h, Vacuum Sweeper with 1m3 of hopper capacity (265 Gallons) and working width maximum 1900mm.
After a very positve feedback from the municipalities and city cleaning companies, we should see the GM 500 H2 on the streets of France Cities for a steady, daily basis quite soon. This is a really nice and ECO friendly City Cleaning solution!
