Following successful testing in the UK, First Hydrogen has announced plans to launch its hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicle initiative in North America. The company intends to develop two demonstration hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in the Quebec region, setting the stage for a broader roll-out across the continent.
