KEYOU and Lhyfe sign MoU to cooperate on hydrogen development in transportation
With the green hydrogen production capacity planned by Lhyfe in the Schwäbisch Gmünd region, around 100 trucks can be put into operation between 2026 and 2030. These will be supplied by KEYOU to customers in the region.
Lhyfe, a global pioneer in the production of green and renewable hydrogen, and KEYOU, a recognised technology player in the development of hydrogen combustion engines, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop hydrogen mobility in Germany and Europe. With the green hydrogen production capacity planned by Lhyfe in the Schwäbisch Gmünd region, around 100 trucks can be put into operation between 2026 and 2030. These will be supplied by KEYOU to customers in the region.
The cooperation between Lhyfe and KEYOU
Lhyfe is currently building its largest production facility in Schwäbisch Gmünd, near Stuttgart, Germany. The plant, which is expected to be installed by the end of the year, will be capable of producing up to 4 tonnes of green hydrogen per day (10 MW installed capacity). Lhyfe also announced in early September that the company will supply four filling stations operated by H2 MOBILITY Deutschland in Germany over a five-year period, starting in 2025. The first hydrogen deliveries will supply four filling stations, including two in Baden-Württemberg (Mannheim and Heidelberg).
On the other hand, KEYOU is developing both a conversion technology, to convert existing diesel trucks into hydrogen vehicles that meet the zero CO2 requirements of the EU heavy duty vehicle legislation, and a “Hydrogen Mobility as a Service” approach, with a full range of services. With the production capacity planned by Lhyfe in the Schwäbisch Gmünd region, KEYOU will be able to put up to 100 vehicles into operation between 2026 and 2030, with an annual ramp-up of 20 trucks. The project will start in the Schwäbisch-Gmünd area, with other regions in Germany to follow.
KEYOU and Lhyfe intend to work together to develop localized ecosystems that bring together the infrastructure for the production and distribution of renewable hydrogen, and the use of heavy-duty hydrogen vehicles. The two companies will be collaborating to develop a joint approach that includes vehicles, renewable hydrogen and refueling solutions.
