KEYOU partners with GP Joule to enhance green hydrogen mobility in Germany
As an integrated energy supplier, GP JOULE is working on green hydrogen mobility projects that combine all areas of the value chain. Indeed, the company has built three hydrogen filling stations in North Friesland and Bremerhaven with regional partners. Further filling stations and hydrogen production plants are under construction in Kiel and Waiblingen.
Hydrogen-as-a-Service provider KEYOU (here’s an interview to get to know the company even better) has announced a partnership with GP JOULE, an integrated energy solutions provider based in Reußenköge, Schleswig-Holstein. The two companies have decided to join forces to offer customers an emission-free hydrogen mobility bundle at selected locations in Germany.

KEYOU provides 40-ton trucks based on the Daimler Actros (below) with zero-emission, hydrogen engines through a rental program, while GP JOULE guarantees the necessary refueling infrastructure and reliable green hydrogen supply at selected locations in Germany. KEYOU began selling its 40-ton trucks at the end of 2024, and the semi-trailer tractor unit is scheduled to enter the market in 2026. Recently, KEYOU delivered the first 18-ton truck from its pioneering fleet. EP Trans, a logistics company based in Regensburg, is using the vehicle in the Nuremberg area.
Statements from KEYOU and GP JOULE
“Thanks to partners like KEYOU, we can offer our green hydrogen portfolio to more and more companies. For the heavy-duty transportation sector in particular, mobility with green hydrogen is a perfect complement to battery-electric mobility. Our hydrogen filling station in Bremerhaven recently opened, and our partnership offers regional companies a simple way to convert their vehicles to an emission-free alternative,” said Benjamin Jödecke, Head of Mobility at GP JOULE Hydrogen.
“Our collaboration with GP JOULE is a significant step in solving the chicken-and-egg problem, representing our most extensive partnership in the infrastructure sector to date”, added Pedro Bravo, CSO at KEYOU. “We are convinced that the combined expertise of KEYOU and GP JOULE in identifying and acquiring end customers will decisively advance hydrogen mobility in Germany. Only with a combination of everyday-use vehicles and the corresponding infrastructure can hydrogen mobility — and thus our technology — develop its full potential and represent a real alternative to diesel.”
