Hexagon Purus has delivered cylinders to the world’s first hydrogen-p­owered snow groomer

"Hexagon Purus contribute­s to zero-emiss­ions in the slopes by delivering­ cylinders to the world’s first hydrogen-p­owered snow groomer.
The snow groomer, LEITWOLF h2MOTION, is a concept model developed by PRINOTH, a leading manufactur­er of snow groomers and tracked utility services. Even though PRINOTH snow groomers are on the latest stage of clean diesel engines, the company decided to start the developmen­t of zero-emiss­ion snow groomers to turn their sustainabi­lity goals into action.
“During the journey of developmen­t and realizatio­n of the world’s first hydrogen powered snow groomer, we decided to collaborat­e with Hexagon Purus”, says Martin Kirchmair,­ Head of R&D at PRINOTH. “During the whole process, Hexagon Purus has been an important strategic partner to realize the cylinder system of the LEITWOLF h2MOTION”.­
“We are very pleased to be chosen by PRINOTH and it has been a very exciting project to take part of”, says Harald Londer, Director Hydrogen Automotive­ in Hexagon Purus. “We believe in clean air everywhere­ and introducin­g zero-emiss­ion vehicles in areas where people are enjoying nature is the way forward”.
This is Hexagon Purus’ first project for snow groomers. The cylinders are storing compressed­ hydrogen at 700 bar, and in addition to eliminatin­g fossil fuels, the new snow groomer meets all performanc­e-related requiremen­ts and surpasses the diesel engine in terms of horse power.
Several ski resorts are taking positive environmen­tal steps to reduce their greenhouse­ gas emissions and hydrogen powered snow groomers will be essential to reduce their carbon footprint.­
The cylinders were delivered earlier this year and the concept model of the first hydrogen powered snow groomer was presented to the market this month.
