Hyliko launches dedicated center for H2 trucks in France

The site is equipped with a refueling facility for heavy-good vehicles and a maintenance center to train professionals.

Hyliko has opened its first hydrogen center of excellence dedicated to heavy goods vehicles powered by hydrogen in France.

The site features a green hydrogen refueling station with a compression capacity of 350 bars, and a maintenance center dedicated to H2-powered trucks. Vehicles will be able to fill up in almost 20 minutes, leveraging green hydrogen produced by Lhyfe. 

The first hydrogen vehicles retrofitted by Hyliko are already on the road with Point P transporters, the Berto Group and Labatut Group, as well as Bert&You and Toyota Motor.

“We call on hauliers and shippers committed to decarbonising our economy to join the movement. Hydrogen-powered low-carbon mobility is no longer a concept in France: the transition to zero-emission hydrogen-powered mobility has already begun,” said Ovarith Troeung, CEO of Hyliko.

This first cluster is part of an even larger project, with the Grand-ParHY ecosystem, which will include a new supply site in Paris-Nord, followed by the construction of the Grand-LHYon ecosystem in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. 

This initiative aims to facilitate access to hydrogen energy by integrating into the main French routes and linking up with European corridors.
