Details: From a van leaving the fleet to one just joining. Several of these Renault Kangoo Maxis were found in Acton Works on 24th October 2017. There are two unusual aspects to them. Firstly, vehicles usually arrive with the main blue skirt already applied, and have the red (or otherwise) stripe and lettering added at Acton. This one appears to have a fairly complete set of lettering (including a fleetnumber that is not quite legible), and skirt/stripe on the rear, but not yet on the side. The second aspect is shown by the markings on the fuel filler cap and on the rear. The van is an electrically powered ZE model, a type which is now not unusual on the streets of London but which has only been used as a service vehicle once. But it has also been fitted with a Hydrogen fuel cell power pack to extend its range. These are produced by French company Symbio, whose logo features on the back, along with those of the FCH (Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking) and the EU.
