What the Team is Saying
What We Do
First Mode started by removing the diesel engine from a colossal mining truck and replacing it with a hydrogen fuel cell powerplant. A world-first, and the world’s largest.
But we’re not stopping there. We are also working on providing critical mine site infrastructure for hydrogen production, battery recharging, and hydrogen refueling.
Today, we’re starting at the source, the mining industry, and tomorrow the larger supply chain, to completely eliminate the use of diesel and speed the clean energy transition.
We hope you’ll join us in building a brighter future for people and planet.

The First Mode team thrives at the intersection of industry and technology. Every day, we create new approaches to unique problems through iterative analysis and boundless imagination. First Mode people are entrepreneurial, visionary, and multi-faceted, and our teams bring their full selves to the table for a truly collaborative experience.
