First laps for Hopium Machina
French manufacturer Hopium has marked a turning point in the development of its fuel cell technology with the first dynamic tests of the Hopium Machina. These tests, carried out on the prestigious UTAC circuit, aimed to evaluate the reliability and the performance of the hydrogen fuel cell under various driving and climatic conditions. This made it possible to test in real conditions the robustness of their innovative model.
Technological validation on circuit
Testing of the Hopium Machina was not limited to ordinary laps; they included intensive dynamic cycles and high speed tests. This rigorous protocol was intended to push the hydrogen fuel cell to its limits and to verify its effectiveness under different environmental constraints. The results obtained exceeded initial expectations, confirming the exceptional potential of this technology.
Hopium’s green ambitions
Stéphane Rabatel, CEO of Hopium, spoke about the importance of these trials: “We are delighted to have reached this crucial milestone. These tests not only validate the quality of our fuel cell technology, but also our commitment to mobility decarbonized and responsible. » This statement highlights Hopium’s vision to play a central role in reducing carbon emissions in the automotive industry.
A step towards the decarbonization of heavy transport
While the Machina tests have been successful, Hopium does not intend to stop there. The technology developed is also considered for heavy vehicleswith a clear objective: to replace diesel with cleaner alternatives by 2028-2030. By targeting the heavy transport sector, Hopium hopes to have a significant impact on the overall reduction of polluting emissions.
Double the power for a green future
Hopium plans to implement a 200 kW fuel cell system, consisting of two units of 100 kW each. This configuration is designed to deliver optimal performance while respecting current ecological imperatives. With such capacity, the company prepares to efficiently meet the high energy demands of large vehicles.
Innovative financing strategies
To finance the industrialization of its technology, Hopium relies on niche markets promising projects, such as the K-Challenge maritime project. This approach will allow the company to secure necessary funds without compromising its integrity or ecological objectives. Adopting creative financing strategies is essential to navigating the complex and expensive landscape of advanced technology.
Looking for an industrial partnership
At the same time, Hopium is looking for a major industrial partner to support the implementation of its automated assembly line. This strategic partnership would be located in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure, near Lyon, and would aim to prepare production for large scale. A successful collaboration would significantly accelerate the deployment of the technology and strengthen Hopium’s position in the global market.
