Maximator Hydrogen supports Hydri in the Swedish H2 infrastructure network expansion with innovative H2 solutions
Hydri - formerly REH2 - and Maximator Hydrogen are working together on the strategic expansion of a nationwide green H2 infrastructure for heavy trucks with the world‘s densest network of hydrogen refueling stations in Sweden. The first refueling station is scheduled to be delivered in the beginning of 2024, with another 23 stations to follow on a monthly cycle.
With Rasta, Sweden‘s largest service station chain for trucks is also part of the cooperation. 23 of the 24 hydrogen refueling stations will be built at their sites. The rest areas are strategically located along Sweden‘s major highways, making them an important building block in expanding hydrogen mobility for trucks and promoting zero-emission transportation in the country. „Maximator Hydrogen offers us a complete turnkey package for our stations and, just like us, is committed to long-term cooperation. Both are key requirements for us to be successful in introducing a green H2 infrastructure in Sweden,“ said Christoffer Löfström of Hydri.
Status quo
- As part of the cooperation with Hydri, Maximator Hydrogen is supplying 24 hydrogen refueling stations, which are currently in the design and planning phase.
