HRS, French designer and manufacturer, and European leader in hydrogen refuelling stations, announces the signing of a framework maintenance contract covering six HRS hydrogen refuelling stations installed to date for its customer HYmpulsion, which is in charge of the Zero Emission Valley (ZEV) project in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, France.
These maintenance contracts are designed to ensure the long-term supervision and operational performance of all six stations that were successfully installed. These stations are located in: Aubenas (300 kg/day), Saint-Égrève (600 kg/day), Vénissieux (600 kg/day), Lyon-Saint-Exupéry (1 tonne/day), Malataverne (1 tonne/day) and Saint-Priest (300 kg/day).
HRS provides comprehensive customer support in preventive and corrective maintenance, thanks to a dedicated team of experienced engineers and technicians, mobilised both from the control room at headquarters and in the field: 24/7/365 on-call service, supply of spare parts, remote supervision and real-time technical assistance.
The main features of the contract signed with HYmpulsion are as follows:
- Monitoring and on-call duty 24/7/365, organized into three levels of support across the entire Hympulsion network, including the provision of spare parts and interventions within 4 hours in the event of corrective incidents across all stations.
- Preventive maintenance at the Saint-Priest (69), Lyon Saint-Exupéry (69), Malataverne (26), Aubenas (07), Saint-Egrève (38) and Vénissieux (69) sites (France).
Across an installed base of 31 stations, maintenance contracts already signed now cover 22 stations. 8 additional contracts are currently being finalised or are forthcoming in line with the progressive commissioning of stations. The development of long-term recurring revenue is a key pillar of the strategy. It is expected to grow as new stations come into service, as illustrated by the 33% growth recorded in this area segment in the first half of 2025 - 2026.
HRS thus confirms its central role in the deployment and maintenance of regional hydrogen infrastructure and reaffirms its commitment to providing high-performance, reliable and rapidly operational solutions. HRS stations are distinguished by their exemplary reliability and high availability rate, ensuring optimal service continuity and a user experience of the highest standard.
Hassen RACHEDI, Founder and CEO of HRS, stated: “We are very grateful to HYmpulsion for this further expression of confidence in our expertise. From the very beginning, we have been working alongside them to support the roll-out of hydrogen mobility in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. This five-year framework maintenance contract demonstrates the confidence placed in the quality, reliability and performance of our infrastructure. We will continue this collaboration by ensuring a high-performing, reliable and readily available refuelling infrastructure, in order to provide long-term support for the development of heavy-duty and high-intensity hydrogen mobility.
“This success is, above all, the result of the commitment and professionalism of all our staff, who work every day to make HRS a leading industrial partner in the roll-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure.”
