HydroFleet, a specialized hydrogen equipment and fuel supplier, has announced a substantial investment of nearly $33 million in Pooler, Georgia to establish a production and fueling station catering to heavy-duty hydrogen fuel cell trucks. The company envisions the facility to initially service 7 to 14 trucks daily, with a future capacity target of accommodating 50 trucks per day. This investment aligns with the current trend towards cleaner energy solutions and the transition to zero-emission fleets. HydroFleet's CEO, Scott Moe, highlighted Pooler's suitability for the facility due to its strategic location near major interstates, the Port of Savannah, and potential fleet customers. The company aims to address the challenges faced by customers in sourcing an entire hydrogen ecosystem at a competitive price point. The deployment of hydrogen trucks, like the Hyundai XCIENT heavy-duty fuel-cell electric trucks, offers an exhaust-free and quieter alternative to traditional diesel trucks. By replacing diesel trucks with hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, HydroFleet estimates the removal of over 400 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually for each truck. At full capacity, the hydrogen-powered truck fleet serviced by the new facility is projected to eliminate over 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually from the Savannah area. This investment signifies a step towards a more sustainable transportation sector, reducing carbon emissions and promoting the adoption of clean energy solutions in the logistics and manufacturing industry. The move towards hydrogen power in heavy-duty trucks marks a positive shift towards environmental consciousness and innovation in the region.
