Announced in October 2020 and produced in record time in the Linas-Montlhéry
test workshop, this vehicle called Alpha 0, certifies the reliability of the
fuel cell system. After the design and architecture phases, followed by the
implementation of the various components within the vehicle, the prototype was
able to be evaluated and perfected through bench and track tests. With a speed
of 200 km/h (124 mph), this test version already borders on the performance
promised by the Hopium Machina in its final form.
Alpha 0 also introduces for the first time the signature lighting, emblem of
Hopium, whose shape is reminiscent of the stratification of hydrogen and the
movement of waves on the surface of water.
The reveal of this technological showcase is a key step in the manufacturer's
roadmap and confirms its ability to achieve the goals that have been set and
meet the highest challenges. It is accompanied by the opening of an order book
for the first 1,000 numbered units of Hopium Machina, whose reservation price
is set at 410 euros, in reference to the spectral line of hydrogen.
The Hopium teams are already fully committed in carrying out the next steps,
aiming to produce Hopium Machina on an industrial scale, with a new rendez-vous
expected in the first quarter of 2022.
