Chart and ZEV Stations, Co., have executed a Memorandum of Understanding enabling the companies to collaborate on novel deployment for U.S.-based, multimodal H₂ stations with Chart equipment. Working together, the companies’ goal is development of fast-fuel multiple modes for heavy-duty transportation at the same station, uniting different standards of gaseous and liquid H₂ vehicle fueling using high flow and efficiency liquid pumping.

ZEV Station is an environmentally focused B-Corporation committed to developing zero-carbon based fueling–EV charging and H₂–serving both types of zero emission vehicles at the same station. Under this agreement, Chart will supply liquid H₂ fuel station equipment and H₂ liquefaction, to support ZEV Station’s multimodal H₂ stations. This type of station will service H₂ vehicles up to Class 8 heavy-duty trucks using Chart’s liquid-based equipment enabling at least 8 kg per minute fills.

“Chart’s cutting-edge H₂ equipment is a great complement to ZEV Station’s novel system integration. Chart’s liquid technology enables fast fueling like diesel through a range of gaseous and liquid protocols,” said Jesse Schneider, ZEV Station’s CEO/CTO. “We believe multimodal stations are needed to help converge the standards of heavy-duty H₂ fueling. This will drive a more widespread fuel cell truck deployment and accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.”
