The Louwman Groningen Efficiency Tour took place on Sunday 19 September 2021. At this event, hydrogen cars had to drive a distance within a certain time with as little hydrogen consumption as possible while having fun discovering a number of beautiful locations in Groningen.

Despite being a just-for-fun event, there were several awards given out, more specifically, most efficient Hyundai, most efficient Toyota and most points achieved throughout the day. The HAN Hydromotive team managed to win the award for the most points!! 

In order to do this, the team had to visit several different locations around Groningen and take a photo of the car in front of each ofthem to win points, this had to be done within a strict time limit, as arriving late would cause a considerable point deduction. True to its roots, the team managed to efficently win all the points available and arrived just in time so that points would not be deducted.

The HAN Hydromotive team would like to thank herwers groep for providing us with a hydrogen powered Hyundai Nexo so that we could attend the Tour. The team had a blast and is looking forward to many more events in the future. We are very thankful for the invite!

Yesterday, the new Hydromotive team for HAN had the first meeting with the team from previous year. Previous years team managed to drive with an efficiency of 212 km/m3 of hydrogen (which would translate into a ratio of 1:692 km for petrol), this is the challange the new team is willing to surpass.

Discussions about all the challenges we are facing for this years #ShellECOMarathon made the new team more exited than ever, knowing that we have chances to win the competition in this years edition.

Two members of our team have been getting out on the road to one of our partners, Swageloko. They both came back with a certificate for correctly placing fittings within the hydrogen system. This way, we know for sure that all pipings within the network are plugged in the right way. This will prevent damage to the system and limits the chance of getting leaks. Great work!
