BMW Group Pilots Hydrogen Trucks in European H2Haul Project
Key Ideas
- BMW Group acquires two zero-emission fuel cell trucks for pilot operation in the European H2Haul project, focusing on hydrogen mobility in freight transport.
- State-of-the-art hydrogen refuelling stations are being built in Leipzig and Hormersdorf to enable rapid refuelling, essential for continuous use in logistics.
- Participation in H2Haul and HyCET projects is part of BMW Group's strategy for reduced logistics emissions, contributing to the goal of zero-emission transport logistics.
- BMW Group Leipzig plant showcases the use of hydrogen in intralogistics with over 200 fuel cell-powered industrial trucks and innovative hydrogen burners in the paintshop.
The BMW Group has acquired two zero-emission fuel cell trucks as part of the European H2Haul project to promote hydrogen mobility in freight transport. These trucks will operate in a pilot operation between Leipzig, Landsberg, and Nuremberg to assess the practicality of the technology. The project involves building hydrogen fuelling stations in Leipzig and Hormersdorf to facilitate rapid refuelling, crucial for fuel cell truck deployment in the logistics sector. BMW Group's participation in the H2Haul project aligns with its strategy for reduced logistics emissions and climate goals, aiming for zero-emission transport logistics. Additionally, the BMW Group Leipzig plant has been actively using hydrogen in intralogistics since 2013, with over 200 fuel cell-powered industrial trucks. The plant is pioneering the use of flexible hydrogen burners in its paintshop, making it the first automobile plant globally to adopt this technology.
