Quantron to partner with Oilinvest (Tamoil, HEM) on hydrogen infrastructure development

Quantron has announced a valuable partnership with Oilinvest, owner of very important brands such as Tamoil or HEM, aimed at building hydrogen-based refueling infrastructure to supply FCEV trucks. The partnership gave way to a new joint venture named HEMTRON, which is based in Hamburg, Germany, to help accelerate the decarbonisation of road freight in Europe.

Oilinvest subsidiaries operate around 2,450 filling stations under the Tamoil brand in Europe including Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the HEM brand in filling stations in Germany. Together with third party and newly established (greenfield) locations, this extensive network provides a foundation for the proliferation of zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles.
