The RHeaDHy project aims to promote the development of high-performance hydrogen refueling solutions for heavy vehicles, in particular for freight transport. The innovation developed by HRS will enable stations to be designed for ultra-fast refueling (100kg of hydrogen in less than 10 minutes, with a flow rate of up to 300g/s at 700 bar). This technology will enable HRS to position itself as a key player in the fast-growing low-carbon freight transport segment. The expected increase in investment in sustainable transport infrastructure in Europe offers significant growth prospects, with high value-added contracts for the installation, maintenance and operation of the stations.

The H2REF-DEMO project revolutionizes the approach to hydrogen refueling with an innovative compression solution coupled with direct filling. The aim of this project is to multiply compression capacity by five, while increasing filling performance. These innovations enhance the competitiveness of HRS solutions by lowering station installation and operating costs. This should translate into higher sales volumes and profit margins, while opening up new international markets, particularly in densely populated urban areas.

Innovation Radar has also granted the two HRS innovations the "Tech Ready" status, which designates the final stage before the technology is ready for commercialization, and anticipates significant market demand for these technologies.

By placing HRS among the 2 and 3 key contributors respectively to the H2REF-DEMO and RHeaDHy projects (comprising 8 and 9 players respectively), the "Innovation Radar" jury has recognized the company's decisive role in these two projects that are shaping the hydrogen industry in Europe. This double designation as a "key innovator" recognizes the unique technological expertise of HRS and its ability to propose innovative solutions at European level. It will therefore help to strengthen HRS 's sustainable competitive advantage, demonstrating its ability to develop innovations with high monetization potential.

This double recognition as a "Key innovator" is an important strategic lever for the development of HRS, in a European hydrogen market that continues to be supported by ambitious public policies, particularly in the areas of heavy transport and urban infrastructure. As a result, HRS is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the numerous commercial opportunities arising from the development of hydrogen infrastructures.

Hassen Rachedi, founder and CEO of HRS, said : "We are very pleased and proud to receive these distinctions, which once again demonstrate our technological expertise, unique in Europe, and our commitment to decarbonized mobility using hydrogen. HRS is thus confirming its position as a key player in innovation in the hydrogen sector. These awards come after the development of our two new offerings, the Filling Center and the Export Trailer, in the 1^sthalf of 2024-2025, and the announcement of our strategic partnership with Toyota Motor Europe and Engie to develop Twin Mid Flow (TMF) technology. All these innovative solutions strengthen the confidence of our partners and investors, while consolidating our leadership in the hydrogen market”.
