Haskel and HyGear partner to offer end-to-end hydrogen refuelling to European market
Haskel Hydrogen Systems Group and HyGear have partnered to offer combined hydrogen generation and refuelling infrastructure to the European market.
The companies revealed today (September 13) they plan to leverage on Haskel’s refuelling system experience and HyGear’s hydrogen production expertise to provide end-to-end refuelling stations.
H2 View understands the partnership will initially focus on the market in western Europe and vehicle classes including HGVs, buses, refuse trucks, forklifts, light commercial vehicles, and rail.
Haskel in September 2021 announced plans to expand its global business to better serve the hydrogen economy after receiving a multimillion dollar investment from its parent company, Ingersoll Rand.
Jake Martin, Hydrogen Business Development Manager at Haskel, commented, “HyGear are hydrogen generation specialists and a perfect partner for us. Anyone wanting a full refuelling station can come to us and be supplied with the complete package, including on-site generation.”
In 2020, Xebec announced it was set to acquire HyGear’s parent company, Green Vision Holdings. It was hoped the acquisition would allow access to new markets and enable HyGear to launch a commercially viable green hydrogen product offering.
Niels Lanser, Business Development Director Hydrogen at Hygear, added, “Haskel’s extensive knowledge of how to deliver hydrogen into the full range of fuel cell electric vehicles made them an obvious choice for us. We look forward to realising the significant commercial opportunities that this collaboration will bring.”
