Toyota Motor Europe, Hydrogen Refuelling Solutions (HRS) and ENGIE will deploy hydrogen refuelling stations with new technology that eliminates the need for separate dispensers.
The stations will incorporate a higher-flow dual nozzle, allowing for one hydrogen dispenser to refuel heavy-duty vehicles in under 10 minutes. Therefore, a 40-tonne truck will be able to “refuel for a 600km range in just eight minutes and 900km in 12 minutes.”
In an online press statement, Toyota said that the new solution is “faster and more cost-efficient.” The roll-out will be piloted as part of an EU-funded RHeaDHy project and it aligns with targets set out by the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR).
Under the new agreement, Toyota will provide a test bench and a truck equipped with the Twin Mid Flow Technology, while HRS and ENGIE will develop the refuelling stations that are compatible with the technology.
