A new hydrogen refuelling station has been inaugurated at a bus operator's depot in Mannheim, Germany, marking a significant step towards embracing hydrogen technology in the transportation sector. The station, operated by H2Mobility, is located at rnv's depot and will serve both public and fleet vehicles, including rnv's 13 H2-eCitario hydrogen fuel cell buses. With dispensing options available at 350 and 700 bar, a wide range of vehicles such as trucks, buses, refuse collectors, and cars can refuel at the Mannheim facility. rnv plans to replace its diesel-fuelled buses with hydrogen and battery alternatives following successful trials of Mercedes-produced hydrogen buses earlier this year. Thanks to funding from the State Baden-Württemberg, the operator will introduce 40 H2-eCitaro buses in Mannheim and Heidelberg, where another refuelling station opened in April. The H2-Rhein-Neckar project, supported by the state, aims to showcase hydrogen technologies in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Martin Jüngel from H2 Mobility emphasized the increasing popularity of hydrogen in mobility in the region, highlighting its usage in public transport and municipal operations. Mayor Christian Specht praised the cooperation projects in the region, stating they are essential for a sustainable future independent of fossil fuels.
