Germany's Longest Convoy of Electric Vehicles Ever
in Hamburg
ITM Power Exhibits at the H2Expo 2011
8th International Conference and Exhibition on
Hydrogen, Fuel Cells, and Electric Drive Systems on
June 8-9, 2011
Electric Vehicles Provided for Companies in Hamburg
Last week, almost 70 electric vehicles were driven
as a convoy through the Hafenstrasse to the fish
market in St. Pauli in a kick-off press event for
the conference. The vehicles are being funded by the
economic stimulus package of the German federal
government und will be used for commercial transport
in Hamburg.
With the Senator for Economics, Transport, and
Innovation of the Free and Hanseatic City of
Hamburg, Frank Horch, and the Parliamentary
Secretary of State of German Federal Ministry of
Transport, Enak Ferlemann, in attendance,
representatives from Hamburg businesses and the
public authorities accepted 35 new e-vans from
automotive manufactures Renault and Karabag. The
commercial users will include for example, Airbus,
Otto, Unilever, Vattenfall, Tchibo, the Port of
Hamburg, and the University Hospital Eppendorf.
Together with the already delivered smart fortwo and
Mercedez-Benz-A-class electric vehicles, the model
region Hamburg now supports more than 100 subsidized
electric vehicles in its permanent fleet. Passenger
buses from the Hamburger Hochbahn public transport
authority as well as private vehicle operators of
course also make a contribution.
Many of these vehicles will be available to view and
test drive in the Ride & Drive exhibit at the
H2Expo. Make use of this great opportunity today!
Sustainable Energy Systems from the UK
ITM Power, from Sheffield, England will be
presenting at the H2Expo 2011 for the first time.
