Proud is an understatement. We finished first in our category and broke the team's all time record! On our best round, we managed to achieve a consumption of 830km/L! Our previous record was 690. The EcoGreen Gas challenge was a fantastic event and a great time for the whole team, it gave us a ton of valuable experience and showed us what we are capable of. Nevertheless, we cannot wait to attend the Shell Eco-marathon in a few weeks time and break this record again!

What a fantastic day our car reveal was! On Friday the 29th of April, the HAN Hydromotive team unveiled our new car, the HM22, in the Eusebiuskerk in Arnhem. Sponsors, family and friends attended a very insightful and interesting presentation that was followed by a cozy get together. The team was really proud of the hard work and dedication that they have shown throughout the year, and are very excited to tackle the upcoming challenges!

From the 8th to 9th of April, the HAN Hydromotive team attended the Expo New Energy edition Hydrogen in Inspyrium in Cuijk. In an energetic ambiance, visitors were taken into the world of hydrogen and new energy.

With a visit to the Hydrogen street, where we had our stand, vistors got to know the possibilities of hydrogen in person. From tractors to garbage trucks and from race cars to excavators; all vehicles on this street run on hydrogen. Thanks to the participation of various regional suppliers of new energy in the Expo, a complete range was presented and many visitors discovered how they can contribute to a sustainable future.

On the 12th, 13th & 14th of October 2021, The 12th edition of the the Zero Emission Ecomobiel took place, this is a business fair in the light of sustainable innovation in mobility. A platform bursting with innovation, knowledge sharing and business.

The HAN Hydromotive team joined a large number of exhibitors that were also showing their sustainable solutions for mobility issues. For example, these exhibitors proposed ways to reduce energy and fuel costs, put together their idea of the ideal mobility mix or suggested tools for smarter organization of a fleet or better traffic flow.

Participating in Zero Emission | Ecomobile meant talking to professionals with concrete investment plans. But also establishing partnerships, making new contacts, increasing our brand awareness and participating in workshops and debates.

The Achterhoekse Waterstofdagen took place on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 October 2021 in Doetinchem. At the stadium of De Graafschap on the Lijsterbeslaan, the most innovative hydrogen vehicles were on display and lectures were given continuously about the future role of hydrogen in mobility, homes and at companies. 

The main reason for the hydrogen days was the opening of a hydrogen filling station at Kuster Energy on the Braamtseweg in Doetinchem in mid-December 2021. With the arrival of this filling station, and surely many more appearing as time goes by, companies that want to drive emission-free will have a new way of doing so.

All the visitors that attended this event could gaze at the many different products in which hydrogen can be used to supply power. Tractors, drones, personal movility vehicles and evrn racecars are just some of the many examples that show how present hydrogen technology could be in our future.

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!
