Hydrogen mobility at Paris expo

The Hyvolution Exhibition for hydrogen players in Europe on February 1 and 2 in France includes Hyvia, a joint venture between Renault Group and provider of turnkey hydrogen and fuel cell solutions Plug.

Hyvia says its range of hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles (vans, minibus, and chassis-cabs) continues to hit European roads in 2023 to meet the intensive needs of professionals in urban areas for low-carbon mobility.

“Hydrogen refuelling and recharging solutions, as well as financing and maintenance offers, accompany a tailor-made offer adapted to each customer.”

It says this year the Hyvia plant in Flins, France, accelerates its development with the ramp-up of its fuel cell assembly line, the construction of its electrolyser to produce low-carbon hydrogen, and an assembly line for hydrogen refuelling stations.

Hyvia also participates from February 4-24 in the event “On top of positive energies” in Morzine-Avoriaz, France, to raise awareness of the challenges of the energy transition and sustainable development and how hydrogen can play a decisive role.

The hydrogen-powered Renault Master Van H2-Tech, revealed last year, is presented to companies, local authorities, and the general public alongside innovative low-carbon applications: solutions for the energy transition in the particularly fragile ecosystem of the high mountains.

The event resonates with the roadmap of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, which is piloting the “Zero Emission Valley” project to develop the hydrogen industry and fight against pollution.
