Europe's First Heavy-Duty Liquid Hydrogen Truck Trials: INEOS and Daimler Collaborate for Zero-Emission Future
Key Ideas
  • INEOS Inovyn and Daimler collaborate on Europe's first heavy-duty liquid hydrogen truck trials, aiming to transform truck transportation for a zero-emission future.
  • The Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Trucks provide over 1000 km range and can carry the same payload as conventional diesel vehicles, with trials planned in Germany and expansion into Belgium and the Netherlands.
  • INEOS emphasizes its commitment to reaching Net Zero and reducing CO2 footprint through hydrogen production and storage, seeking government support for infrastructure investment.
  • The trial not only benefits INEOS Inovyn by understanding fuel-cell technology but also offers PVC customers the opportunity to reduce emissions and enhance green credentials.
INEOS Inovyn, a vinyl producer, has initiated customer trials with what they claim to be 'Europe’s first heavy-duty liquid hydrogen truck.' Wouter Bleukx, Business Director Hydrogen at INEOS Inovyn, expressed enthusiasm about hydrogen being a game-changing energy solution that will revolutionize truck transportation towards achieving a zero-emission future. This collaboration with Daimler Truck to run trials with Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Trucks aims to showcase the potential of hydrogen in heavy-duty transportation. The trial fleet, involving companies like Amazon, Air Products, Holcim, and Wiedmann & Winz, will operate in Germany for the next 12 months, with plans to expand into Belgium and the Netherlands. INEOS is keen on understanding fuel-cell technology through approximately 250 customer deliveries in the Rheinberg area. The company's commitment to Net Zero includes efforts to reduce its CO2 footprint, with a focus on hydrogen production and storage. INEOS highlights the importance of governmental support for infrastructure investment to bring low carbon hydrogen solutions to the market. The trial not only benefits INEOS Inovyn but also offers its PVC customers the chance to decrease emissions and enhance their green credentials, thus contributing to a cleaner energy ecosystem.
