Industry leaders to join forces to scale hydrogen mobility
- For the first time in Europe, Germany is bringing together the full ecosystem needed to scale the deployment of hydrogen trucks by 2030, combining supportive policy frameworks, a strong OEM offering and an integrated hydrogen supply chain and infrastructure.
- Daimler Truck AG, Volvo Group, Toyota Motor Corporation, Bosch, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, TEAL Mobility, MB Energy and more companies envisage how to accelerate/collaborate the commercialisation of hydrogen-powered mobility and build the ecosystem required to scale it along the whole value chain, with vehicles, infrastructure and supply.
- The activities include the deployment of hydrogen refueling stations along key strategic corridors in Europe, synchronised with the hydrogen powered truck fleet and with a competitive hydrogen price. This will enable customers to operate hydrogen-powered vehicles with a competitive total cost of ownership.
- Full details will be unveiled at a CEO-led press event during IAA Transportation in Hannover on 15 September.
Leading companies from the transport, energy and industrial sectors, together with German policymakers, are collaborating to establish a benchmark for a fully integrated hydrogen mobility ecosystem for heavy-duty transport. They reflect a shared ambition to scale hydrogen with a focus on customer-oriented refueling infrastructure and competitively priced hydrogen fuel.
Delivering a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that complements battery-electric solutions requires coordinated developments across the entire value chain, with a focus on commercialising competitive vehicles, deploying strategically located refueling infrastructure aligned with customer needs and ensuring reliable access to hydrogen at viable price levels. Together, these elements can create the conditions for a competitive total cost of ownership and position hydrogen as a practical, scalable solution for zero-emission transport.
Further details will be announced on 15 September at IAA Transportation 2026.
