Hopium is leaving the Motor Show with its hands full. The start-up dedicated to hydrogen-powered cars has lifted the veil on a juicy contract with Crédit Agricole that will help it carry out its ambitious projects.
According to the signed agreement, the bank will order no less than 10,000 copies of the future Hopium Machina, whose concept was presented at the Motor Show. The Crédit Agricole subsidiary, which specializes in car sales and financing, will help its customers acquire the French sedan. For its part, Hopium will present Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance’s financing offers to individuals and professionals.
Hopium Machina will be the first non-utility hydrogen vehicle produced in France. Its production should start in 2025 in Normandy. Positioned on the “mid-luxury” market, the model will be sold for about 120,000 euros. It will generate its electricity via dihydrogen reserves. It should have a range of 1,000 kilometers, 500 horsepower and weigh less than two tons.
Strong signal for hydrogen
If bankers are often criticized for their timidity, Crédit Agricole shows that it believes in the Hopium project. And this is all the more remarkable given that some experts have reservations about the future of the French hydrogen industry in the automotive sector, alongside the electric sector.
Olivier Lombard, a racing driver and Hopium owner, is not mistaken. He sees it as a “strong signal that reaffirms the central role of hydrogen in tomorrow’s mobility“.
Stéphane Priami, CEO of CA Consumer Finance, says he is “proud to support a French manufacturer of hydrogen-powered vehicles like Hopium and thus contribute to the transformation towards a green mobility in which Crédit Agricole wants to become the leader in France and in Europe“.
Finally, the former Minister of Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari, Chairman of Hopium’s Board of Directors, is delighted with the agreement which “strengthens the commercial strategy” of Hopium, of which he is Chairman of the Board of Directors, with a forecast order of 1.2 billion euros.
This will enable Hopium Machina to get off to a flying start…
