Hydrogen

Through these hydrogen truck projects, Toyota intends to support the decarbonisation of heavy duty road transport, which accounts for a quarter of European freight transport based on tonne-kilometres performed.

Air Products, Amazon, Holcim, INEOS and Wiedmann & Winz are the very first customers. These companies have the opportunity to gain practical experience in long-distance transport with fuel cell trucks at an early stage, during a trial phase of around one year. On the other hand, the Daimler Truck de...

Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks and partner Mörtlbauer Baumaschinen Vertriebs have jointly presented their two prototypes as part of the “WaVe” development project to research hydrogen combustion engines for special-purpose vehicles. Precisely, the Unimog test vehicle and crawler demonstrated their per...

The centre, which is due to officially open next September, is located in Villabé (Essonne, France), 30 km south of Paris. The site brings together a green hydrogen refuelling station dedicated to HGVs, with fast refuelling and a compression capacity of 350 bars, eventually to be upped to 700 bars.

This first new-generation 26-tonne truck is fitted with a 100 kW fuel cell and has a range of 400 kilometres. It will refuel at the multi-energy station in La Roche-sur-Yon, which opened in December 2021, and will be supplied with 100% renewable green hydrogen by Lhyfe.

“We are firmly on the field and are continuing to secure our first-mover advantage in zero-emissions Class 8 trucks in North America, as well as with our HYLA hydrogen refueling solutions”, said Nikola CEO Steve Girsky.
