Toyota Europe Partners with HRS and Engie for Next-Gen Hydrogen Refueling Systems
Key Ideas
  • Toyota Motor Europe collaborates with HRS and Engie to deploy advanced hydrogen refueling systems under the EU-funded RHeaDHy project.
  • The new Twin Mid Flow technology allows quick refueling of trucks and light commercial vehicles in under 10 and 5 minutes, respectively.
  • This innovation enables 40-tonne trucks to be refueled in just 8 minutes for a 600 km range, contributing to the acceleration of hydrogen distribution infrastructure.
  • Toyota, HRS, and Engie aim to develop next-generation hydrogen refueling stations using the Twin Mid Flow technology by the fourth quarter of 2025.
Toyota Motor Europe has entered into an agreement with Hydrogen Refueling Solutions (HRS) and Engie to introduce a new era of hydrogen refueling systems. This partnership is part of the EU-funded RHeaDHy project, which aims to expedite the deployment of hydrogen distribution infrastructure. The innovative Twin Mid Flow technology, a key component of this collaboration, features a double nozzle design that enhances flow rates. With this technology, trucks can now be refueled in less than 10 minutes, and light commercial vehicles in under 5 minutes, all from a single dispensing point. One of the significant advantages of the Twin Mid Flow system is its ability to refuel 40-tonne trucks in just 8 minutes, providing a range of 600 km, or in 12 minutes for a range of 900 km. This efficiency in refueling times is expected to significantly contribute to the practicality and adoption of hydrogen-powered vehicles. Toyota's commitment to this initiative includes providing a test bench and a truck equipped with the Twin Mid Flow technology for evaluation. Meanwhile, Hydrogen Refueling Solutions and Engie will focus on developing the next generation of hydrogen refueling stations, with operations scheduled to commence in the fourth quarter of 2025. Thiebault Paquet, Vice President of R&D at Toyota Motor Europe, highlighted the importance of the Twin Mid Flow technology, referring to it as a significant milestone in promoting the development of hydrogen ecosystems. The collaboration between these key industry players underscores a shared commitment to advancing sustainable transportation solutions through innovation and strategic partnerships.
