Plastic Omnium signs a partnership with Hyliko to equip its hydrogen trucks for the decarbonization of heavy mobility

The partners also plan to work together to develop new hydrogen storage systems that will increase truck ranges to over 750 kilometers, an uplift of almost 60%.

Hyliko is the leader in decarbonization services for heavy-vehicle fleets. It provides transporters and logistics operators with a unique all-in-one solution, combining leasing and maintaining hydrogen-powered trucks, supplying hydrogen produced from biomass residues, and managing the fleets’ carbon footprint. By 2030, Hyliko aims to avoid the emission of 1.5 million tons of CO2, to equip 10% of the European hydrogen truck market (around 15,000 vehicles), and to deploy 100 hydrogen production and storage stations in Europe.

Plastic Omnium has pioneered hydrogen mobility since 2015. Its New Energies division develops and produces comprehensive hydrogen systems for all forms of mobility, ranging from storage to management systems, and including fuel cell modules.

“We are delighted that Hyliko has chosen our storage systems to leverage the development of highly specialized solutions for decarbonizing heavy vehicle fleets. This announcement is further proof of the existence of a buoyant market for hydrogen mobility in the commercial transportation sector,” says Marc Perraudin, CEO of Plastic Omnium New Energies.
“We are very excited about our new partnership with Plastic Omnium, which will support development of our hydrogen trucks designed to decarbonize our clients’ heavy vehicle fleets. The partnership will also mean we can boost the operational performance of our vehicles,” says Florent Bergeret, Chairman and Founder of Hyliko.
