Tank & Rast and H2 MOBILITY sign associate partnership

Germany’s biggest network of motorway service stations joins H2 MOBILITY to look into hydrogen fueling.

Tank & Rast has joined the world’s largest hydrogen filling station operator, H2 MOBILITY Deutschland, as an associated partner.

In Germany, H2 MOBILITY currently operates 88 of 91 H2 filling stations in seven metropolitan areas well as along connecting trunk roads and motorways, with 15 more stations currently under construction. To accompany the ramp-up of commercial hydrogen-powered vehicles, H2 MOBILITY is also expanding its offer for other pressure levels and refuelling quantities.

This is a promising field for Tank & Rast, as the expected increase in hydrogen-based heavy goods traffic will also lead to an increased demand for corresponding infrastructure along the motorway. For Tank & Rast, a national provider of motorway stations, the partnership is a logical step on the way to the service station of the future. The focus is on the strategic further development of the locations and their provision of relevant drive energies in the future.

“Our collaboration with H2 MOBILITY is the next step on the road to climate-friendly mobility,” explains Peter Markus Löw, CEO of the Tank & Rast Group: “By joining H2 MOBILITY, Tank & Rast is underscoring its commitment to sustainable mobility on German motorways. Hydrogen will become increasingly important, especially in heavy goods transport, and we want to be part of the project to establish an efficient, nationwide hydrogen infrastructure for fuel-cell trucks.”

Together with franchise partners, Tank & Rast operates around 360 filling stations and around 400 service stations (including around 50 hotels) on the German motorway network.
