INEOS Inovyn has agreed to support Daimler Truck to trial “Europe’s first” fleet of heavy-duty liquid hydrogen-powered trucks.
Along with Amazon, Air Products, Holcim and Wiedmann & Winz, INEOS will test Daimler’s alternative vehicle as they run their first customer trial fleet of Mercedes-Benz GenH2 trucks in Germany.
The trial will begin in mid-2024 and take place for a year, with INEOS’ logistics partner VERVAEKE managing the transport to a pilot group of customers. The two companies will test the liquid hydrogen truck under real-life conditions.
The Mercedes-Benz GenH2 trucks are expected to boast a range of over 1,000km whilst being capable of carrying up to 25 tonnes of PVC products. H2 view understands they will incorporate two 44kg liquid hydrogen tanks to fuel two 145kW fuel cells.
