Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility joins the H2Accelerate collaboration, expanding industry support for hydrogen trucking
The H2Accelerate collaboration today announced Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility as its newest member. Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility has been a pioneer in the European hydrogen trucking sector since the turn of the decade.
Hyundai has already taken significant steps to advance hydrogen mobility in Europe. Hyundai joined the Global Hydrogen Mobility Alliance, an alliance of more than 30 CEOs from top global companies united in urging the European Union to accelerate the adoption of hydrogen mobility across the continent.
Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility is now working with other major players in the H2Accelerate Collaboration to advocate for the scaled decarbonisation of Europe’s roads through hydrogen-powered HDVs. Industry is clear that a joint battery electric and hydrogen-powered solution is needed to achieve this objective and with Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility’s accession this message has grown in strength. Existing members Daimler Truck, Iveco Group, Linde, Shell, TEAL Mobility, TotalEnergies, and Volvo Group have collaborated in H2Accelerate since 2020 and look forward to joining forces with Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility in building the future hydrogen mobility ecosystem together.
Hannah Bryson-Jones, Spokesperson for the H2Accelerate collaboration, welcomed Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility to the collaboration:
“Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility has been a long-standing innovator in the European hydrogen mobility sector. Building Europe’s first scaled hydrogen mobility ecosystem in Switzerland and Germany, Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility has demonstrated the power of combined government and industry action. With the right policies in place, industry can successfully decarbonise road mobility. We are excited to have Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility joining the collaboration and look forward to building momentum towards the scaled decarbonisation of Europe’s trucking ecosystem together.”
Charles Cambournac, Managing Director of Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility Germany GmbH, said of Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility’s accession to the collaboration:
“Europe is a key sector for Hyundai and has the potential to develop the world’s leading market for zero-emission trucking. At Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility, we have worked closely with our European customers to build a trucking technology for today and tomorrow – zero-emissions and a familiar high-quality performance and operations. Since 2020, we have supported the operation of Europe’s largest fleet of fuel cell trucks, driving more than 17,000,000 km. Customers are ready for zero-emission trucks, we are ready to scale production to meet demand – with H2Accelerate we will look to build the conditions to scale deployment across Europe.”

Hyundai Hydrogen Mobility is committed to an environmentally friendly and sustainable future for mobility and the associated system partners. We see the decarbonization of heavy goods transport as an important step in this direction.
About H2Accelerate
H2Accelerate is a collaboration agreement signed between the participants under which the participants will work together to:
- seek public support to fund early pre-commercial projects to activate the market on the path towards a mass market roll-out;
- communicate around the technical and commercial viability of hydrogen fuelled trucking at scale; and
- hold discussions with policy makers and regulators to encourage policies which can support a sustainable and speedy activation of the zero emissions long haul trucking market.
