(" FIRST HYDROGEN " or the " Company ") (TSXV:FHYD) (OTC PINK:FHYDF) (FSE:FIT) is pleased to announce the appointment of Stephen Pendrey as Chief Engineer - Vehicle Program for its Automotive division. His appointment to the company's UK-based technical team signifies further growth and commitment to delivering the brand's first hydrogen-fuelled, zero-emissions utility vehicles.

Prior to Belcan, Steve was European Programmes Director at Tata Technologies, part of the Tata Group of companies. Here, Steve was responsible for all major deliverable-based programmes worldwide, including the Polestar 600bhp PHEV based in Sweden, an 8x8 military vehicle-based in the U.A.E, and the management and coordination of key accounts of Aston Martin and McLaren Automotive. In his role at First Hydrogen, Stephen is responsible for managing the program engineering and development activities as well as supporting the company to meet its ambitions to mass manufacture fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).

We were hugely impressed with his strengths as a team leader, communicator and project manager. He brings knowledge and expertise across the complete product development process, having led teams to successfully deliver many high-value, complex projects. His experience in supervising the build of simulator and prototype vehicles from concept, will also prove invaluable in our next milestone - the development and delivery of our hydrogen fuel cell demonstrator vehicles, which enter road testing in just a couple of months, and which will be available to prospective customers for road testing in September 2022."

Stephen Pendrey, Chief Engineer for First Hydrogen Automotive, comments: " Zero emissions and the role transportation plays in carbon reduction is a huge and complex challenge for the automotive industry, so it's fantastic to work with a brand developing a direct solution and a proven team of automotive professionals. I am excited to help drive First Hydrogen forward in the development and roll-out of its first hydrogen fuel cell commercial vehicles, drawing on my skills and experience to deliver high-quality products to market."
