Regulatory News:
Air Liquide (Paris:AI), a world leader in gases, technologies
and services for Industry and Health, and IVECO, the commercial
vehicles brand of CNH Industrial, have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding to develop hydrogen for mobility in Europe. The
partnership will contribute to materialize clean mobility by
leveraging the two companies’ complementary competencies, in
particular Air Liquide’s unique expertise across the entire
hydrogen value chain, from production and storage to distribution,
and IVECO’s legacy as a provider of advanced, clean sustainable
transport solutions.
Both partners will dedicate means and resources to study the
roll-out of heavy-duty fuel-cell electric long-haul trucks
coupled with the deployment of a network of renewable or
low-carbon hydrogen refuelling stations along the main
trans-European transport corridors. In parallel, both companies
will jointly promote initiatives to encourage hydrogen mobility by
involving all stakeholders along the entire value-chain.
This partnership is in line with the companies’ ongoing
collaboration in the HyAMMED project in the South of France
(Hydrogène à Aix-Marseille pour une Mobilité Écologique et
Durable), to develop the first European fleet of fuel-cell electric
44 tonnes trucks associated to the first high-pressure 1 tonne/day
hydrogen refuelling station, targeting the decarbonization of
long-haul freight mobility in Europe.
Matthieu Giard, Vice President, a member of the Executive
Committee, supervising Hydrogen activities, said: “Hydrogen can
significantly contribute to reducing emissions of the
transportation sector as it is particularly well suited for
long-haul heavy-duty vehicles. Air Liquide is pleased to join
forces with a leader such as IVECO to explore how to set this
revolution in motion. In line with its sustainability objectives,
Air Liquide acts in favor of the development of hydrogen ecosystems
and contributes to the emergence of a low-carbon society.”
Luca Sra, designated President, Truck Business Unit,
Iveco Group, said: “We are committed to the development of a
hydrogen economy and are excited to collaborate with Air Liquide in
researching the most effective way to provide operators with this
sustainable alternative transport fuel. It is essential that we all
focus on reaching global net zero-emission targets, working
together to propel the industry faster in accomplishing
this.”
