English Español Air Liquide to build first hydrogen station for long-haul trucks in Europe

The station will be commissioned early 2022 and will primarily serve the first European fleet of eight 44-tonnes low-carbon hydrogen trucks.



Last update:

Air Liquide announces the installation of the first high-pressure hydrogen refueling station in Europe, with capacity to serve the first fleet of long-haul hydrogen trucks.

This investment reflects the group's strategy to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen energy through large-scale projects, particularly in the heavy vehicle segment.

Located at Air Liquide’s Fos-sur-Mer site, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur Region in France, this large capacity hydrogen station engineered by Air Liquide [700 bar, 1,000 kg/day] will enable per day up to 20 refuelings of long-haul trucks with low-carbon hydrogen for up to 800 km of autonomy.

“Hydrogen is an alternative to meet the challenge of clean transportation and thus contribute to improving air quality. As such, hydrogen energy has the potential to transform Europe’s energy landscape,” said François Jackow, Executive Vice President and a member of the Air Liquide Group’s Executive Committee.

The station will be commissioned early 2022 and will primarily serve the first European fleet of eight 44-tonnes low-carbon hydrogen trucks specifically designed within the project.
