Pure Hydrogen and Utility Global sign JMDA

The JMDA sets out a framework for collaboration in the US market, facilitating the supply by Pure Hydrogen of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (HFCVs) and distribution support from Utility with respect to hydrogen off-take and supply agreements in key deployment areas. The two parties will work together to identify opportunities for pilot projects, vehicle demonstrations, and temporary hydrogen supply, as well as broader initiatives to expand the hydrogen mobility network.

The collaboration leverages Pure Hydrogen’s expertise in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle development and deployment with Utility’s capabilities in clean, reliable, and economic hydrogen production. By aligning vehicle rollouts with strategically located hydrogen supply, the parties aim to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen mobility solutions in the US, reduce operational risks, and support the build-out of a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that benefits both commercial customers and the wider energy transition.

In addition, Pure Hydrogen will provide insights on vehicle deployment timing and customer demand to assist Utility in developing hydrogen production plants in identified US regions. Utility will in turn coordinate hydrogen supply and delivery logistics for Pure Hydrogen’s US customers.

The JMDA provides a strategic framework for collaboration, setting out a pathway for Pure Hydrogen and Utility to progress joint initiatives in the US hydrogen mobility sector. While any future arrangements will remain subject to customary conditions such as financing, permitting, and regulatory approvals, the JMDA represents an important first step in establishing a structured working relationship.

Pure’s latest strategic partnership in the US market follows a recent Term Sheet with leading Australian manufacturer AMQ to establish a manufacturing partnership for the assembly and integration of hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) trucks at AMQ’s advanced manufacturing facility in Brisbane, Queensland.

The AMQ agreement represented a key milestone Pure’s strategy to scale its manufacturing capacity, positioning the Company to meet future demand from domestic and international markets as a premium supplier of ADRregistered hydrogen and electric vehicles for the commercial transport sector.

The agreement with Utility has an initial three-year term, commencing on 1 December 2025, with flexibility for either party to conclude the arrangement with 30 days’ notice if required. This initial term will allow Pure Hydrogen and Utility to demonstrate proof of concept while positioning the partnership for longer-term growth.

Pure Hydrogen Managing Director, Scott Brown, commented: “This agreement with Utility represents another important step in Pure Hydrogen’s US strategy, giving us a collaborative pathway to pair our hydrogen fuel cell vehicles with reliable local hydrogen supply. The collaboration leverages our expertise in vehicle development alongside Utility’s leading capabilities in clean and economic hydrogen production. By aligning vehicle rollouts with strategically located hydrogen supply, we aim to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen mobility solutions, reduce operational risks, and support the build-out of a comprehensive US hydrogen ecosystem. Over the coming months, we will work with Utility to identify key deployment regions, initiate pilot projects, and expand vehicle demonstrations and hydrogen supply solutions. These initiatives will lay the foundation for a scalable US hydrogen mobility network in 2026 and beyond.”
