Paving the way for large scale deployment of hydrogen trucks and the expansion of a hydrogen refuelling network throughout Europe
H2Accelerate TRUCKS is an innovative European collaboration of 13 partners, which aims to promote and accelerate the uptake of Hydrogen Trucks in Europe. Funded by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, the project will deploy 150 fuel cell trucks from three OEMs (Daimler AG, IVECO and VOLVO) across nine European member states by 2029. This first large-scale trucks deployment will be supported by a new hydrogen refuelling stations network installed by Everfuel, Shell and TotalEnergies, funded by other public funding schemes.
We are delighted to provide funding support to the H2Accelerate TRUCKS project, a flagship project which will pave the way for the commercialisation of Europe’s hydrogen trucking system.
It is especially auspicious that these 150 vehicles deployed within this project will be supported by an expanding network of hydrogen refuelling stations, which will include the H2Accelerate Inaugural Station Deployment project that has been selected to receive EU funding support. Through both projects, we can witness first-hand how different funding programmes can work together to accelerate the realisation of a hydrogen trucking ecosystem in Europe.
