Burckhardt Compression has signed an MOU with HRS to jointly develop high-capacity hydrogen refueling stations to address the heavy-duty mobility market (buses, trucks, port), light-utility vehicles (taxi fleets) and future opportunities (boats, trains, planes…).

The target is to deliver safe, reliable, refueling solutions, for intensive market usages, with capacities above 1 tpd. Within this framework, the partners will focus attention on the industrialization of the production process to achieve expected CAPEX reduction.

This 3-year non-exclusive agreement also paves the way towards a common answer to new market opportunities, especially hydrogen mobility market future requirement for boats, trains, or planes.

"This agreement with a key actor in the compression market is a great news for hydrogen mobility," said Hassen Rachedi, Founding Chairman & CEO of HRS. "The pooling of our knowledge and best practices will enable us to propose new solutions to boost the development of heavy-duty mobility and make hydrogen mobility more accessible to the public."
