In England rumors are beginning to chase each other about an ever stronger interest in the development of a Fuel Cell vehicle by the Jaguar Land Rover group, hitherto committed to electrification with traditional battery models. According to the English website AutoExpress, the project, still in its embryonic stage, is part of a specific program known as Project Zeus and supported by the British government with funding from over 73 million pounds.

A program that, in the past, has seen the involvement of top-level international players in the automotive sector, such as Delta Motorsport, Magneti Marelli and UKBIC. What is certain is that, to arrive at the complete development of a hydrogen car, Jaguar Land Rover will take a long time, perhaps years, and only a network of partnerships with specialized companies will be able to shorten the development time of a Fuel Cell technology that can be transferred to a series production.

From a document issued by the United Kingdom government’s Department for business, energy and industrial strategy, what might be characteristics of the new vehicle and the strategies to be put in place to put it into production. In the report, we read that, working with world-class partners, “Jaguar Land Rover is developing a prototype of a Fuel Cell hydrogen vehicle. The project will result in an SUV that will combine all the strengths of the off-road vehicles and low environmental impact crossovers produced by the group, that is, great autonomy, fast and excellent refilling off-road capability “. No clue, however, on the brand of the possible future SUV: it could be both a Jaguar and a Land Rover.
