Daimler Buses and H2 Mobility Collaborate for Hydrogen Expansion in Germany
Key Ideas
- Daimler Buses partners with H2 Mobility to expand hydrogen tank infrastructure for transportation companies in Germany.
- H2 Mobility is building more hydrogen filling stations near transportation companies, reducing costs for bus operators.
- The cooperation aims to strengthen and expand the public H2 tank infrastructure to support local and long-distance passenger transport.
- By the end of the year, H2 Mobility plans to have over 50 locations offering refueling for buses and trucks at 350 bar in Germany.
Daimler Buses and H2 Mobility have joined forces to enhance hydrogen mobility in Germany by expanding the hydrogen tank infrastructure for transportation companies. As part of this collaboration, Daimler Buses will facilitate the provision of hydrogen tank services for buses equipped with hydrogen-based fuel cells, utilizing a comprehensive consulting approach. H2 Mobility is focusing on constructing additional hydrogen filling stations in close proximity to transportation companies, ensuring a demand-driven deployment strategy. These public filling stations, managed by H2 Mobility, alleviate the financial burden on bus operators by covering investment and operating expenses, while simultaneously fortifying and extending the public H2 tank network. The partnership seeks to optimize hydrogen mobility solutions for local and long-distance passenger transport, offering significant cost savings to companies leveraging the H2 Mobility station network. By outsourcing the complexity of hydrogen tank systems, Daimler Buses aims to deliver an easy-to-implement solution for its customers. By the end of the year, H2 Mobility plans to enable refueling for buses and trucks at over 50 locations at 350 bar pressure, with 34 operational stations currently in Germany.
