Grid delays in the Dutch e-charge network make hydrogen mobility “inevitable,” says Fountain Fuel, which has secured €8.2m ($8.7m) government grant under the €28m ($29.6m) Hydrogen in Mobility programme.

Two consortiums linked to Fountain Fuel’s hydrogen refuelling station network received €8.2m. Both consortia include up to 30 transport logistics partners, such as Van Hooft Transport and MAN Truck & Bus.
