Company Overview

First Hydrogen Corp. is a Canada-based hydrogen technology company focused on the development of zero-emission hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles and the supporting green hydrogen production ecosystem. The company operates at the intersection of the clean transportation, renewable energy, and hydrogen infrastructure industries, targeting fleet operators seeking to decarbonize light and medium-duty commercial transport.

The company’s core activities center on designing and trialing hydrogen fuel cell-powered vans, complemented by plans to develop small-scale green hydrogen production using renewable power. First Hydrogen positions itself as an integrated solution provider, combining vehicle development with hydrogen supply concepts to address both vehicle adoption and fueling challenges. Founded in 2020, the company emerged in response to increasing regulatory pressure on emissions and growing corporate demand for zero-emission fleet solutions, particularly in urban and regional logistics.

Business Operations

First Hydrogen’s operations are organized around two primary business lines: zero-emission vehicle development and green hydrogen production and distribution. The vehicle business focuses on hydrogen fuel cell light commercial vehicles designed for extended range and rapid refueling, primarily aimed at logistics, utilities, and municipal fleet operators. Revenue generation to date has been limited and primarily associated with development activities, pilot programs, and strategic collaborations rather than mass vehicle sales.

The hydrogen segment is focused on the conceptual development of modular green hydrogen production facilities using renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. These facilities are intended to supply hydrogen for fleet customers operating First Hydrogen vehicles. The company maintains engineering, design, and testing relationships in the United Kingdom and Canada, and operates through wholly owned subsidiaries, including First Hydrogen Limited and First Hydrogen UK Limited, which support vehicle development and European market engagement.

Strategic Position & Investments

First Hydrogen’s strategy emphasizes early-mover positioning in hydrogen-powered commercial fleets by offering a bundled vehicle-and-fuel approach. Growth initiatives include vehicle trial programs with fleet operators, continued refinement of fuel cell vehicle architecture, and feasibility studies for localized green hydrogen production. The company has publicly stated its intention to scale through partnerships rather than capital-intensive manufacturing ownership.

The company has not disclosed any material acquisitions as of the most recent public filings. Its strategic investments are primarily directed toward research and development, prototype vehicles, and engineering services. First Hydrogen is also engaged in emerging hydrogen mobility ecosystems, aligning with government-backed hydrogen strategies in Canada and Europe, though the commercial timelines for these initiatives remain dependent on regulatory support and infrastructure development.

Geographic Footprint

First Hydrogen is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, with a significant operational presence in the United Kingdom, where vehicle development, testing, and early customer engagement are concentrated. The UK market serves as a strategic entry point due to supportive hydrogen policies and a dense commercial fleet landscape.

The company’s activities span North America and Europe, with stated ambitions to expand into additional regions as hydrogen infrastructure matures. While international operations remain at a developmental stage, First Hydrogen’s cross-border structure is intended to provide flexibility in accessing engineering talent, government programs, and early adopter customers across multiple continents.

Leadership & Governance

First Hydrogen is led by executives with experience in energy, finance, and clean technology development. The leadership team emphasizes capital discipline, strategic partnerships, and alignment with long-term decarbonization trends rather than near-term volume manufacturing. Governance follows Canadian public company standards, with oversight from a board that includes industry and capital markets experience.

Key executives include:

• Balraj Mann – Chief Executive Officer
• Graham Cooley – Executive Chairman
• Peter Lee – Chief Financial Officer
• Robert Campbell – Director
• Nick Waring – Director

The leadership has articulated a strategy centered on proving technical viability and economic relevance of hydrogen commercial vehicles before pursuing large-scale commercialization.
