Oilinvest subsidiaries operate around 2450 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. Starting in Germany, HEMTRON is tasked to secure consistent growth and supply of hydrogen refuelling stations at customer-oriented locations near transportation hubs such as logistics centres and highways.
"Through this strategic partnership with QUANTRON, we aim to offer our customers a commercially viable solution and reduce carbon emissions with green hydrogen as an alternative to diesel for commercial road transport", said Ahmed Elkerrami, CEO of Oilinvest Group. He added, "We aim to aggregate our initiatives that secure an increase in non-fossil fuels projects. This partnership will support our strategy to become a net zero company by 2050 and we look forward to include more partners to join this hydrogen fuelling alliance".
Michael Perschke, CEO of Quantron AG on QUANTRON's Hydrogen Offensive said: "Green hydrogen will be a key energy carrier of the future to accelerate decarbonisation, especially in heavy duty trucking. With the help of Oilinvest's fuel retailing expertise and refuelling station network, we are creating a foundation for our customers to switch from diesel to zero-emission FCEV vehicles. Due to our current first mover advantage in range and power in the 44 t sector, as well as our QLI FCEV, which have already started delivering, we now also want to be a first mover in dedicated hydrogen fuelling infrastructure, dedicated to the needs of light, as well as heavy duty trucks."
