Global Hydrogen Review,
For the first time in Europe, Germany is bringing together the full ecosystem needed to scale the deployment of hydrogen trucks by 2030, combining supportive policy frameworks, a strong OEM offering and an integrated hydrogen supply chain and infrastructure. Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, Toyota Motor Corporation, Bosch, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, TEAL Mobility, MB Energy, and more companies have collaborated to accelerate the commercialisation of hydrogen-powered mobility and build the ecosystem needed to scale it along the whole value chain, with vehicles, infrastructure and supply.
The companies reflect a shared ambition to scale hydrogen with a focus on customer-oriented refuelling infrastructure and competitively priced hydrogen fuel.
The activities include the deployment of hydrogen refuelling stations along key strategic corridors in Europe, in synchronisation with the hydrogen-powered truck fleets as well as a competitive hydrogen price. This will enable customers to operate hydrogen-powered vehicles with a competitive total cost of ownership.
Delivering a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that complements battery-electric solutions requires coordinated development across the entire value chain with focus on commercialising competitive vehicles, deploying strategically located refuelling infrastructure aligned with customer needs, and ensuring reliable access to hydrogen at viable price levels. Together, these elements can create the conditions for a competitive total cost of ownership and position hydrogen as a practical, scalable solution for zero-emission transport.
Full details will be unveiled at a CEO-led press event during IAA Transportation in Hanover on 15 September.
