GAUSSIN and Lhyfe form a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating the development of hydrogen mobility at port, airport and logistics sites.
According to the terms of the MoU signed by GAUSSIN and Lhyfe, the two operators will study the possibility of developing a comprehensive renewable mobility solution combining the hydrogen vehicles of GAUSSIN and the green and renewable hydrogen produced by Lhyfe.
The partnership also includes a commercial component aimed at identifying potential customers, in France and abroad, likely to be interested in such an all-round renewable mobility solution for logistics, port and airport sites.

Lhyfe produces green and renewable hydrogen from water and renewable energy (by electrolysis of water). The company, which inaugurated its first production site in 2021, already has a sales pipeline representing a total installed production capacity of 9.8 GW by 2030 (figure as of mid-September 2022).
It seeks to develop and operate green and renewable hydrogen production sites across Europe to decarbonise transport and industry.
Lhyfe’s business is thus complementary to that of GAUSSIN, which designs heavy handling vehicles running on hydrogen. Aware of the possible synergies between their areas of business, Lhyfe and GAUSSIN wish to offer a global green hydrogen mobility solution for the transport and logistics ecosystem.
Christophe Dubruque, Mobility Development Director at Lhyfe, said:
Renewable green hydrogen is now an extremely relevant solution for the logistics sector, from all points of view – ecologically, practically and economically.
“This memorandum of understanding with GAUSSIN will allow us to approach the very specific sector of logistics, port and airport sites with a perfectly adapted turnkey solution.”
“GAUSSIN has a full range of hydrogen-powered vehicles, and we want to accelerate the implementation of these mobility solutions by facilitating, via Lhyfe, the distribution of green hydrogen.”
“Through our partnership, we can combine hydrogen vehicles and the distribution of renewable hydrogen through a global green mobility offer that may extend to Transport as a Service.”
“This agreement completes an already rich year for GAUSSIN in the field of hydrogen, marked in particular by the success of our H2 Racing Truck in the Dakar Rally and its world tour, the “Hydrogen personality of the year” award which was presented to me at the National Assembly and the launch of the Automated Guided Vehicle AGV® H2.”
“With Lhyfe, we share the ambition of ramping-up the hydrogen sector and I am confident about the continuing negotiations,” said Christophe GAUSSIN, CEO of GAUSSIN.
About Lhyfe
Created in Nantes in 2017, Lhyfe produces and supplies green hydrogen for mobility and industry. Its production plants and commercial pipeline are designed to provide green hydrogen in industrial quantities and form part of a virtuous energy model benefitting the environment. The company is a member of France Hydrogène and of Hydrogen Europe.
Lhyfe inaugurated its first green hydrogen industrial production site in the second half of 2021. The company currently has a commercial pipeline representing a total production capacity of 9.8 GW by 2030.
An offshore research program initiated in 2019 should also lead to the start of a test phase in real conditions for the world’s first floating electrolyser linked to a floating wind farm planned for September 2022.
