Air Liquide and IVECO collaborate to accelerate the development of hydrogen heavy-duty mobility in Europe

Air Liquide, a world leader in gases, technologies and services for Industry and Health, and IVECO, the commercial vehicles brand of CNH Industrial, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop hydrogen for mobility in Europe. The partnership will contribute to materialize clean mobility by leveraging the two companies’ complementary competencies, in particular Air Liquide’s unique expertise across the entire hydrogen value chain, from production and storage to distribution, and IVECO’s legacy as a provider of advanced, clean sustainable transport solutions.

两个合作伙伴都将致力于学习的手段和资源roll-out of heavy-duty fuel-cell electric long-haul truckscoupled with thedeployment of a network of renewable or low-carbon hydrogen refuelling stationsalong the main trans-European transport corridors. In parallel, both companies will jointly promote initiatives to encourage hydrogen mobility by involving all stakeholders along the entire value-chain.

This partnership is in line with the companies’ ongoing collaboration in theHyAMMEDproject in the South of France (Hydrogène à Aix-Marseille pour une Mobilité Écologique et Durable), to develop the first European fleet of fuel-cell electric 44 tonnes trucks associated to the first high-pressure 1 tonne/day hydrogen refuelling station, targeting the decarbonization of long-haul freight mobility in Europe.

Matthieu Giard,Vice President, a member of the Executive Committee, supervising Hydrogen activities, said:

“氢气可以显着促进减少运输部门的排放，因为它特别适用于长途重型车辆。Air Liquide很高兴与伊欧岛等领导者联接武力，以探索如何在运动中设置这一革命。符合其可持续发展目标，空气液化旨在支持氢生态系统的发展，并有助于出现低碳社会。“

Luca Sra,designated President, Truck Business Unit, Iveco Group, said:

“We are committed to the development of a hydrogen economy and are excited to collaborate with Air Liquide in researching the most effective way to provide operators with this sustainable alternative transport fuel. It is essential that we all focus on reaching global net zero-emission targets, working together to propel the industry faster in accomplishing this.”
