Continental has inaugurated a new production line for hydrogen hoses at its Korbach location in Germany, investing around €3 million in the venture. The high-pressure fueling hoses are engineered to endure pressures of up to 700 bar, crucial for various hydrogen industries. The innovative design combines thermoplastics, steel, and rubber to ensure hydrogen tightness, pressure resistance, flexibility, and durability during refueling processes. Sustainability is a key focus, with the inner hose being free from halogenated plastics, and the metal reinforcement being fully recyclable. Continental plans to further enhance its testing facilities in Korbach to meet evolving hydrogen technology demands and integrate more sustainable materials. The company's efforts align with its sustainability targets for 2050, emphasizing carbon neutrality, emission-free mobility, circular economy, and responsible value chains. Collaboration with Continental's Tech Center Hydrogen Technologies in Hamburg facilitates the development of innovative hydrogen solutions and addresses challenges across the hydrogen value chain.
