With all the possibilities of the GM 500H2, there are no more excuses not to go green even if the city does not have a hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
Green Machines, a global leader with a world-class reputation in creating innovative and technologically advanced outdoor city cleaning equipment, tannounces the introduction of the Green Machines 500H2TM – the latest street sweeper with a hydrogen fuel cell that converts oxygen and hydrogen into electricity.
The newest member of the high quality 500-series, worldwide known for its lasting performance for a clean city and environment with unbeatably low energy costs, comes in an improved and more environmentally-friendly
edition. The GM 500H2 is created based on its predecessor – the world’s first fully electric sweeper GM 500ze, but with lots of new possibilities.
Green Machines will once again lead the way by becoming the first OEM of street sweepers that offers a hydrogen fuel cell in their portfolio. Green Machines is convinced that hydrogen will play a key role in reducing carbon emissions to reach the ambitious global goals. The hydrogen fuel cell uses oxygen and hydrogen to produce electricity that powers the sweeper. The only byproduct of the machine usage is water, which is another breakthrough on the field of outdoor cleaning smart solutions.
The unique part is that the GM 500H2 is flexible since it also offers another world premiere system: the H2-POD. The H2-POD solves the issue of having to invest in an expensive H2 fueling infrastructure. The H2-POD is a flexible cartridge system that allows you to refill the machine whenever and wherever you want. So, there are no more excuses if you lack the H2-infrastructure, because the H2-POD offers you the solution to go green.
Those who have an H2-infrastructure in place can opt for the 500H2 with an installed fixed tank, which allows the machine to be refueled in just a few minutes. Green Machines is proud to offer you solutions to overcome hurdles that now belong to the past. The future has finally arrived.
Another advantage of GM 500H2 is that it is swappable, meaning that everyone can switch to hydrogen. The owners of the current GM 500ze, which runs on Li-Ion batteries, don’t have to buy a new green machine to have the smartest sweeper. They can request an offer to change their Li-Ion Light Pack or Li-Ion Plus Pack type of GM 500ze with one of the two hydrogen options.
