NAMX and PININFARINA unveil the HUV, a hydrogen powered suv partially fueled by removable capsules, paving the way for a seamless and carbon-free experience of mobility.
NAMX presented this morning at the headquarters of Italian design house PININFARINA the prototype of its HUV, the world’s first car partially powered by a patented removable tank system that promises to change the experience paradigm of clean mobility and make hydrogen fuel widely available.
ON-DEMAND HYDROGEN ENABLING SUSTAINABLE, LIMITLESS MOBILITY
NAMX’s HUV is part of a large-scale industrial and technological project whose ambition is to reconcile human mobility and environmental preservation thanks to green hydrogen.

Faouzi ANNAJAH and Thomas de LUSSAC, the cofounders of NAMX, intend to lead this project from end to end by federating key players in the industry, articulating the best of the existing technologies, and creating the solutions which are still missing.
The HUV and its technology, are the first products of this unique approach. By offering new ways to provide hydrogen to end customers and flexibility to recharge it helps greening mobility.
The geopolitical context highlights the strategic importance of hydrogen which production objective has been tripled under Repower EU and which offers a clear path to decarbonize mobility in Europe and beyond, with nearly 1.5 billion private vehicles to be replaced by 2050.
In addition, by allowing home deliveries and a tank change in seconds, NAMX changes the experience of clean mobility by providing the fluidity, flexibility, and accessibility.
The HUV and its technology allow for the revival of the historical promise of freedom that is attached to the automobile and to place it into a sustainable future, where mobility takes place harmoniously within the environment.
A FUTURISTIC SUV WITH SOLID PERFORMANCES,DESIGNED WITH STYLE
Fruit of a collaboration between NAMX and PININFARINA, the design of the car reflects a firm attention to details and purity.
The inventiveness of Thomas de LUSSAC, also designer of the NAMX, was reinforced by the unique know-how of Kevin RICE, Chief Creative Officer of PININFARINA, and his teams to design a prototype that is both resolutely future oriented and inspired by multiple facets.
Fascinated by science fiction, Thomas de LUSSAC chose to give the vehicle’s shape the cutting edge of the coming era. His taste for the American design of the 50s and 60s, his predilection for Muscle Cars”, inspired him to create a car that goes against the current, smooth, conventional design of electric cars.
The NAMX HUV is powerful and asserts a conquering stance. PININFARINA has brought Italian elegance and an unparalleled sense of proportion and detail to the design, right down to the brand’s X engraved on the doors in continuous lines and repeated on the grille.
It will be marketed in two different versions: an entry-level rear-wheel drive version with 300 hp for a regulated top speed of 200 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds; a four-wheel drive GTH version with 550 hp for a regulated top speed of 250 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds.
The HUV will be marketed from the Q4 2025 with a price range of between 65,000 and 95,000 euros depending on the options selected.
AN AFRICAN-EUROPEAN CONSTELLATION OF LEADING EXPERTS AND PARTNERS
Creativity, innovation, freedom of movement and sustainability: these are the values that bring together the stakeholders of NAMX.
Born from the vision of its two founders, the NAMX project gathered stakeholders span across Africa and Europe, as hydrogen will be at the core of a large Euromed equation and NAMX intends to surf on the best global expertise and driving forces of this entire ecosystem.
The NAMX management team and board members have developed an in-depth relationship with several industrial and technological partners that will allow the HUV to enter the development phase in 2023.
Thanks to its African-European integration, the NAMX project is considering the option of implanting its production plant in regions where the manufacturing ecosystem excellence and the environmental commitment to green hydrogen are both clearly stated.
