【International】Shell launches pay-per-use service for heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in Germany

Shell recently said on the Collingwood website that it will launch a pay-per-use service for heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell vehicles (FCEVs) in Germany. The service will help customers transform their fleets with reduced investment, risk and complexity for an undisclosed fee.

Customers will have access to a 15-tonne Mercedes-Benz AG Atego fuel cell vehicle with full insurance, maintenance support and a hydrogen refuelling time of just 15 minutes.

The launch of this service signals that the transition to zero-emission vehicles will disrupt the entire trucking value chain, bringing in new players, partners and anticipated products. Demand for zero-emission trucks is expected to increase dramatically, in part due to a projected decline in total cost of ownership of approximately 10 per cent over the next five to ten years.

【International】Hynion Announces 1 Hydrogen Fueling Station to Norway with Partner

Hynion recently announced a partnership with Hydrogen Elektriske Byggeplasser (HEB) to build a hydrogen refuelling station in Norway. The station is expected to be operational in Kristiansand in the first quarter of 2024 and will serve as a demonstration station to power hydrogen-fuelled vehicles in the region.

The goal of the project is to develop hydrogen-powered vehicles for different applications in the region, and HEB's current order includes a five-year service agreement.HEB develops and sells solutions for the use of hydrogen at zero-emission construction sites, and has a strong interest in the hydrogen refuelling station.Askildsen, HEB's Chief Executive Officer, says: "Now we can soon start real hydrogen transport and other hydrogen applications, and it also gives us time to plan for more stations, vehicles and work machines."
