First Hydrogen powered vehicle joins QPS fleet

The Queensland Police Service (QPS) has welcomed the first fuel cell propelled police vehicle in the southern hemisphere to our growing fleet.




The hydrogen powered vehicle will be used by Queensland Police officers assigned to the North Brisbane Domestic and Family Violence Vulnerable Persons Unit.

Deputy Commissioner Doug Smith said the trial of the hydrogen-powered police vehicle is another example of the way QPS is paving the way of a modern policing service.

“This vehicle will be trialled for a period before evaluation, providing a valuable resource to this important unit,” Deputy Commissioner Smith said.

“Joining our diverse fleet of existing modes of transport, we look forward to further opportunities to ensure our service is future-fit.”

The Nexo joins 13 Mitsubishi EVs now being used by police for general duties, traffic enforcement and investigations.
