Throwback Thursday

Air Liquide, CaetanoBus and Toyota Motor Europe have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the aim of developing integrated hydrogen solutions. This will include infrastructure development and vehicle fleets, to accelerate the expansion of hydrogen mobility for both light and heavy-duty vehicles. The partnership reflects the shared ambition of the three partners to contribute to decarbonizing transport and accelerate the development of local hydrogen ecosystems for multiple mobility applications.

• Launch of New Joint Venture Cellcentric

Stuttgart, Germany / Gothenburg, Sweden – Today, two leaders of the commercial vehicle industry – Daimler Truck AG and Volvo Group – officially outlined their pioneering roadmap for the new fuel-cell joint venture cellcentric, as part of an industry-first commitment to accelerate the use of hydrogen-based fuel cells for long-haul trucks and beyond.

• Key handover of the first production-ready hydrogen fuel cell truck PH2P® of the PAUL Group at PIN21.
• Next Mobility Accelerator Consortium with Paul Group, MaierKorduletsch and Shell aims to build a hydrogen infrastructure from vehicles to filling stations for the transport and logistics sector.
• Shell buys H2 vehicles and plans rental model for customers.

Plug’s 100 MW Electrolyzers Will Produce 35 Tons Per Day of Green Hydrogen for European Market.

• Toyota has delivered four Toyota Mirai, the company’s fuel cell vehicle, to Vecttor, a subsidiary of the Cabify Group, to be used as rental vehicles with driver (VTC).
• This is the first VTC fleet that uses hydrogen as an energy source in Spain, taking a significant step towards zero-emission mobility.
• Refueling will take place at the hydrogen refueling station that the Enagás subsidiary, Scale Gas, has in Madrid, on Avenida de Manoteras.

A hydrogen filling station for heavy vehicles is being planned at the Port of Gothenburg. The filling station will be right next to the entrance to the Gothenburg RoRo Terminal – one of the places in Sweden most intensively used by trucks. The station will supply green hydrogen only and is set to be completed in September 2023.

• The first completely clean hydrogen-powered excavator will start work this month on the Sterke Lekdijk dyke improvement project near Schoonhoven. 

With the deployment of the 30-tonne zero-emission crawler excavator, Mourik is taking the next big step towards a completely clean and sustainable machine park. The international family business has the ambition to use only zero-emission equipment by 2030.
