First Hydrogen Corp. ("FIRST HYDROGEN" or the "Company") (TSXV: FHYD) (OTC: FHYDF) (FSE: FIT) is pleased to provide an update on the technical and commercial capabilities supporting the Company's unmanned ground vehicle ("UGV") initiative. 

First Hydrogen is working with a multidisciplinary highly skilled and experienced team of senior technical specialists, inventors, operators and commercialization specialists with experience across robotics, aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial automation and clean energy systems. The group's collective background includes the design and development of mobile robots, robotic arms, unmanned aerial, ground vehicles and unmanned quadrupeds, high-fidelity simulators, industrial automation systems and advanced electro-mechanical drivetrains.

The development team brings end-to-end capability across mechanical design, electrical systems, embedded software, motion control, systems integration, prototyping, validation and manufacturing. This experience is directly relevant to the Company's objective of developing ruggedized multi-purpose drones and autonomous vehicles featuring off-road capable advanced suspension systems designed for demanding field environments, including defense support, industrial automation, critical infrastructure, logistics and remote-site applications.

Key strengths and tactical benefits of the group is its history of innovation in robotics and high-performance mechanical and electro-mechanical systems. Its collective experience includes advanced actuators, high-torque-density electric motors, next-generation drivetrains, hydrogen compressors, fuel-cell support systems, pumps and energy-efficient mechanical architectures. The group has also been associated with a significant intellectual property portfolio, including more than one hundred patents granted at various times across related technologies and new breakthrough actuator patents focused on robotics.

Balraj Mann, CEO of First Hydrogen comments "We believe this technical foundation complements First Hydrogen's existing zero-emission mobility strategy. The Company's hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle program, Hydrogen-as-a-Service model and clean energy focus provide a platform to explore how hydrogen power, autonomous systems and advanced robotics may be integrated into next-generation unmanned mobility solutions."

The group also brings practical commercialization and manufacturing experience, including prototype and pre-production vehicle development, advanced composite and lightweight material design, CNC machining, precision metrology, industrial-grade additive manufacturing, strategic partnerships, regulatory compliance and go-to-market execution. This combination of engineering depth and business execution is expected to support disciplined development from concept through prototype, testing and potential commercialization.

First Hydrogen believes the UGV initiative represents a natural extension of its mobility and clean energy strategy, positioning the Company to evaluate opportunities in robotics, autonomous platforms and zero-emission power systems for markets seeking reliable, sustainable and field-ready unmanned solutions.
