McPhy launches new smart hydrogen station architecture for heavy duty vehicles

"Augmented McFilling" is intended to decarbonize heavy transports and long-distance vehicles.

McPhy, a specialist in hydrogen production and distribution equipment, launches at the Hannover Messe its new range of hydrogen stations. “Augmented McFilling” is a patented, proprietary hydrogen station architecture that mutualizes compression, storage, cooling and vehicle delivery functions.

This architecture is managed by McPhy's smart supervision software, which makes "Augmented McFilling" stations dynamically reconfigurable. The station thus defines autonomously (without human input and without interruption of operation) its optimal operating scheme and (re)directs the flows, from production to vehicles delivery, compression and storage, to deliver hydrogen at the best cost while ensuring continuity of service and a maximum availability rate.

“This innovative combination of shared functions and dynamic reconfiguration of the station’s operating scheme allows us to provide our customers with an infinite number of usage scenarios, adapted to their needs in real time and in a perfectly transparent way, without capacity limits”, said Pascal Mauberger, McPhy’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
