HydroFleet, a specialized hydrogen equipment and fuel supplier, has announced a significant investment of nearly $33 million in Pooler, Georgia, to construct a production and fueling station catering to heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell trucks. The new facility aims to initially refuel 7 to 14 trucks daily, with future capacity set to reach 50 trucks per day, providing a much-needed solution for fleet customers looking to transition to zero-emission vehicles. Additionally, Hyundai Motor Group's initiative to deploy 21 Hyundai XCIENT heavy-duty hydrogen fuel-cell electric trucks aligns with the industry trend towards cleaner transportation options. Pooler was chosen as the location for HydroFleet's facility due to its strategic proximity to major interstates, the Port of Savannah, and potential fleet customers, making it an ideal hub for hydrogen transportation infrastructure. HydroFleet's CEO, Scott Moe, expressed confidence in addressing the challenge of sourcing the complete hydrogen ecosystem at a competitive price, highlighting the company's commitment to leading the clean energy transition in Georgia. The adoption of hydrogen trucks not only offers an exhaust-free and quieter alternative to traditional diesel trucks but also has significant environmental benefits. HydroFleet estimates that replacing a single diesel-powered Class 8 heavy truck with a hydrogen fuel cell truck can eliminate over 400 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually. By servicing a hydrogen-powered truck fleet at future capacity, HydroFleet's facility is projected to mitigate more than 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year from the Savannah area, contributing to a cleaner and greener environment. This investment by HydroFleet signifies a positive step towards the widespread adoption of hydrogen-powered transport solutions, promoting sustainable practices and reducing carbon footprints in the logistics and manufacturing sectors.
