Everfuel to build second heavy-duty hydrogen station in Germany
The company gained its second contract for constructing and commissioning of a hydrogen station in Wuppertal for public transportation.
Everfuel announced it was awarded its contract for the constructing and commissioning of a heavy-duty hydrogen refuelling station in Wuppertal, Germany. After a European-wide tendering procedure, WSW mobil GmbH has awarded the company the contract for the facility that will serve a fleet of fuel cell buses for public transportation.
"WSW is one of the pioneers in the deployment of fuel cell buses in public transport in Germany and Europe. We are very pleased to be able to jointly advance zero-emission transportation even further and to be able to support WSW in its ambitious goals with a high-performance and reliable hydrogen infrastructure,” said Jacob Krogsgaard, CEO at Everfuel.
The planned site has a daily capacity for at least 20 fuel cell buses and it will be built to ease its expansion to welcome a larger number of hydrogen buses. This is the second contract in Germany for Everfuel GmbH since its inception for a hydrogen station dedicated to refuelling fuel cell buses. The company was founded at the beginning of 2021 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Everfuel A/S from Denmark.
“Together with WSW we are making our way into the German market, where we continuously will assist in the decarbonisation journey WSW is on by providing the needed infrastructure,” added Jens Conrad, Business Development Manager, Everfuel Germany.
In connection with the project "H2-W - Hydrogen Mobility for Wuppertal", WSW mobil GmbH is already operating 20 fuel cell buses in regular service and look forward to transitioning a larger part of the fleet to zero-emission solutions. WSW mobil GmbH is planning a ramp-up to an estimated 150 fuel cell buses by 2030. To meet these ambitious expansion plans, Everfuel is now building WSW’s second hydrogen filling station at the WSW depot Hölker Feld.
