A hydrogen-powered lorry has been unveiled at an exhibition in Stoneleigh this week.

Electric and hydrogen truck manufacturers Tevva said the 7.5-tonne truck is the first vehicle of its kind to be manufactured, designed and mass-produced in the UK.

The Essex-baed firm launched the hydrogen-electric heavy goods vehicle at the Road Transport Expo yesterday.

Tevva, which claims to have raised $140million in funding, said the truck has a range of 310 miles and can be refuelled in as little as five minutes.

The company also unveiled its latest full-battery vehicle range at the exhibition.

Tevva CEO and founder Asher Bennett said: "We are excited to launch our hydrogen electric HGV, creating a landmark moment for Tevva and UK manufacturing.

"We firmly believe that the post-fossil fuel future, which is quickly approaching, will see a new range of technologies and fuels take centre stage in the transport industry.

"By embracing hydrogen, we are futureproofing ourselves, our clients and the industries and communities they operate in. We also pride ourselves on the fact that our vehicles are safe, reliable and go the distance.

"Combined with our commitment to customer service, we believe that Tevva's hydrogen electric truck will be a popular choice for fleet operators across the UK, Europe and eventually North America."
