In Lombardia FIAT Panda Hydrogen will be fed from a central production facility as well as from an ‘On-Site’ reformer facility developed within the project. The reformer produces hydrogen from natural gas at the service station. A dispenser unit for hydrogen gas at 350bar is built and integrated in the public multi-fuel service station to be built within the project like at Höchst. In the first step the Panda Hydrogen-Cars are filled with 200bar.

In the next 24 months the FIAT hydrogen-cars are tested in every day-life in northern Italy, explains project coordinator Heinrich Lienkamp, Infraserv Höchst. The aim is to improve the acceptance for this future technology within society.
