The HMGS includes 8 High Pressure Storage packs giving it a total storage capacity of 200kg of hydrogen. Each High Pressure Storage pack has the following dimensions.

| Width | 927 | Mm |
| Depth | 925 | Mm |
| Height | 2101 | Mm |
| Max Weight | 1700 | Kg |
The decision to include a reasonably large hydrogen storage facility, design capacity of 200kg, in the HMGS was made in order to ensure that the fuel cell proposed will be capable of supplying the EETC with up to 72 hours autonomy based on a demand of 30kW or under.
In addition, the size of the storage facility, the weight and mass of the stored hydrogen, enables the inclusion of the combined compressor and dispenser unit giving the HMGS the potential to refuel hydrogen vehicles. Although, the installed capacity will not be sufficient to refuel hundred's of vehicles it is sufficient to act as a technology demonstrator.

Hydrogen production now started!
As of the 1st February we have the capability to generate and store Hydrogen on site. This can then be used to power the EETC or for refuelling hydrogen cars.
