H2Accelerate TRUCKS

Our partners highlight the importance of hydrogen in the future of transport and their commitment to the success of the H2Accelerate TRUCKS Project. Hear directly from them all the advantages linked to deploying hydrogen-powered trucks in Europe. Thank you to Steffen Møller-Holst (SINTEF), Johan S. Engström (Volvo Trucks), Arwed Eberle (Daimler Truck AG), Alberto Ruffino (Iveco Group), and Frank Meijer (TotalEnergies) for their contributions.

🚛🔋 Lately, partners from the H2Accelerate TRUCKS project gathered in Trondheim, Norway, for the 3rd consortium meeting of the project. This was a good opportunity to discuss the latest progress and plan the next steps for this flagship European project. The meeting was kicked off with an insightful presentation on SINTEF by Eli Aamot, Vice President at SINTEF Industry. The consortium had then the pleasure of hearing from two guests: Roger. Saether, Technical Responsible for Vehicles and Systems at ASKO Mid-Norway, shared ASKO's ambitions for achieving zero-emission operations. Thor Anders Aarhaug, Senior Research Scientist at SINTEF Industry, gave an informative presentation on hydrogen quality assurance, a critical element for reaching our project goals. H2Accelerate TRUCKS partners were invited to tour the SINTEF Hydrogen Lab and the ASKO hydrogen refueling station in Trondheim, providing them with a closer look at the cutting-edge facilities supporting their mission. #H2AccelerateTRUCKS #Hydrogen #ZeroEmission #Sustainability #RefuellingInfrastructures SINTEF l SINTEF Industry l IRU l ERM l Daimler Truck AG l IVECO l Volvo Trucks l Shell Low Carbon Solutions l Everfuel l TotalEnergies Mobility Solutions l Uniunea Nationala a Transportatorilor Rutieri din Romania (UNTRR) l FIAP Federazione Italiana Autotrasportatori Professionali l WKO Oberösterreich l VTT

Throwback to last week's H2Accelerate TRUCKS session at Transpotec-Logitec 2024 in Milano where FIAP Federazione Italiana Autotrasportatori Professionali, IVECO and IRU had the opportunity to present the project and discuss opportunities and challenges of fuel-cell electric heavy duty vehicles. Carlo Giro and Alberto Ruffino outlined the project's goals and future steps, highlighting the commitment to driving innovation into the heavy-duty transport industry.  

📢 Exciting Announcement !   We're thrilled to share that FIAP Federazione Italiana Autotrasportatori Professionali will be guiding a series of insightful discussion panels on the future of mobility and energy transition at the Transpotec-Logitec Fair from May 8th to May 11th, 2024.   Save the date of the panel discussion titled "Energy Revolution - How to deal with the transition from dependence on fossil fuels to the fuels and energy carriers of the future" featuring insights on the H2Accelerate TRUCKS project. 📍 Milan, Italy 📅 11 May, 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM   🚛 This panel will delve into the latest advancements in technologies, vehicles, fuels, and energy carriers, aiming to pave the way for a greener, decarbonized future in line with EU environmental objectives. The vital role of HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil), electric mobility, and the green hydrogen pathway, will also be explore.   🎙️The organized panel will offer the opportunity to illustrate the path taken so far by the H2Accelerate TRUCKS project. FIAP Federazione Italiana Autotrasportatori Professionali will do it together with Carlo Giro of IRU and Alberto Ruffino of IVECO. A moment of comparison and discussion to explore the progress of FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) vehicles.   🔗 Stay updated : FIAP Federazione Italiana Autotrasportatori Professionali has launched a dedicated website for the event at www.logisticvillage.it. The complete lineup of panelists for all days panels is available there.   Let's come together to shape the future of sustainable mobility and energy transition. See you there! 🌿   #H2AccelerateTRUCKS #SustainableMobility #EnergyTransition #TranspotecLogitec #FIAP2024

We’re happy to celebrate the successful outcomes of the webinar series organised by IRU and POLIS Network.

📣 NEWS FROM PARTNERS Breaking barriers in hydrogen refuelling technology! Last February, Daimler Truck AG Truck and Linde presented sLH2, a jointly developed refuelling technology for subcooled liquid hydrogen for hydrogen-powered trucks. The first public sLH2 refuelling station in Wörth am Rhein was inaugurated and a second one in the Duisburg area in Germany will support the planned trial fleet composed of 5 trucks. This innovation not only propels sustainable transport, it also highlights the industry's commitment to cutting-edge solutions!

Coming soon! IRU and POLIS Network are organising the third and last webinar of the series on April 16th, this time focusing on “the future of energy infrastructure”. Don’t miss out on this opportunity and join us from 15:00 – 16:30! Along with H2Accelerate Trucks representative from TotalEnergies, Frank Meijer, projects such as ZEFES and ESCALATE are going to be represented. Presentations will be followed by a discussion on the energy infrastructure and its progress, challenges and opportunities. 💡 Find out more at:https://lnkd.in/ebSH2XwE 👉 Register here: https://lnkd.in/e-rVn6qQ #hydrogenrefueling #infrastructures #H2AccelerateTRUCKS  

This week, Ted Zotos, Research & Innovation Manager at IRU, will participate at the "HEAVY ROAD TRANSPORT MODE - EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY TRANSITION" conference, invited by ANTRAM, to present the large scale deployment project H2Accelerate TRUCKS during the Vehicles & Infrastructure - European Projects session.   📍 Lisbon, Portugal 📅 11 April 🔍 Find out more at: https://lnkd.in/dr3RHTyb   Stay tuned for updates from the event! 🌱💡 #EuropeanProject #LongHaulTransportation #Innovation

📢 Feedback from our partners at the Connecting Europe Days Our partner TotalEnergies also took part in debate 8 on the 3rd of April, see their insights below: Very interesting discussion last Wednesday on hydrogen as a solution for decarbonizing heavy duty road transport at the #ConnectingEuropeDays organized by the European Commission in Brussels. Whereas in a survey at the beginning of the debate 63 % of the participants stated that concerning the use of hydrogen in the sector "we have only scratched the surface", the picture changed somehow after interventions of Matteo Azzimonti (Hydrogen Europe), Antoine Tournand (TotalEnergies), Marc Horsten (DAF Trucks NV), Roxana Ilie (Uniunea Nationala a Transportatorilor Rutieri din Romania (UNTRR), Johannes Daum (NOW GmbH) and Nicolas Brahy (Hy24). At the end, 49 % of the audience were convinced that some progress had already been made, even so important challenges remain, and 27 % were seeing only scratches at the surface. Antoine Tournand underlined TotalEnergies' commitment shared with its partner Air Liquide to build 100 hydrogen service stations along the major European roads in France, Benelux, and Germany in the coming years. #ConnectingEuropeDays #ZeroEmissionTransportation #Truckingindustry

📢 Feedback from our partners at the Connecting Europe Days Uniunea Nationala a Transportatorilor Rutieri din Romania (UNTRR) was honoured to contribute to the interesting discussions of last Wednesday on Energising heavy duty road transport - Assessing hydrogen uptake in the EU #ConnectingEuropeDays and to highlight the importance of the H2Accelerate TRUCKS project for the deployment of hydrogen trucks as a solution for decarbonising long haul. 🚛 During the debate, UNTRR highlighted the challenges for Romanian road hauliers for meeting the ambitious EU decarbonisation targets, due to the lack of support schemes for the purchase of green trucks and the non-existent refuelling infrastructures. The transition to zero-emission vehicles in Romania highly depends on governmental support for both the acquisition of green vehicles and the deployment of a reliable HRS network in the country. #ConnectingEuropeDays #HydrogenTrucks #EnergyTransition
