HyTrucks to deploy 300 hydrogen-powered trucks in Belgium by 2025
HyTrucks consortium will install a first network of 25 high-capacity hydrogen stations connecting Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Duisburg.
Air Liquide, DATS 24 and Port of Antwerp join forces in the HyTrucks consortium to deploy 300 hydrogen-powered trucks and the related renewable hydrogen production infrastructure and supply chain assets in Belgium as part of the HyTrucks initiative, according to a company’s press release.
The partnership aims to deploy hydrogen-powered trucks mainly in the area around the Port of Antwerp and major logistics hubs in Belgium. Hydrogen trucks will be used for intensive local and international transport.
Overall, the initiative aims at enabling in total 1,000 hydrogen-powered zero-emission trucks on the roads and building the adequate infrastructure connecting Belgium, the Netherlands and western Germany by 2025.
In addition to the 1,000 trucks on the roads by 2025, HyTrucks aims to roll out a first network of 25 high-capacity hydrogen stations connecting Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Duisburg.
The HyTrucks initiative is one of the largest European projects to deploy zero-emission heavy-duty fleets in Europe’s most intense traffic areas.
