HRS WINS A STRATEGIC EUROPEAN ORDER FOR A VERY HIGH-CAPACITY HYDROGEN STATION (4 TONS H2/DAY) DEDICATED TO PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Grenoble, February 27, 2025 – HRS, French designer and manufacturer, and European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, announces that it has signed an agreement with a major player in the sector for the order of a very high-capacity hydrogen station, capable of compressing 4 tons of hydrogen per day (i.e. 160 kg per hour), to be operational by early 2026. This order is a first in Europe for an infrastructure of this scale, and once again demonstrates HRS‘s ability to meet the growing needs of the market.
Following a competitive bidding process, this company, committed to the energy transition, chose HRS for its proven expertise and ability to design innovative, high-performance solutions. The station will be installed in a major European urban center in the first half of 2026 and will enable the continuous daily refueling to public transport.
HRS is thus reinforcing its leadership in meeting the demands of public transport operators, which are looking for reliable, high-performance solutions to decarbonize their fleets. This project is further proof of HRS‘s ability to offer customized solutions for refueling of Europe’s largest fleet of hydrogen public transport vehicles to date.
To meet the customer’s needs, HRS has developed a large-scale industrial solution, integrating a compression capacity of 160 kg of hydrogen per hour and 6 distribution terminals. This order strengthens HRS‘s presence in a fast-growing European market and confirms its expertise in developing stations for heavy-duty mobility. Last but not least, it is further proof of the recognition of HRS‘s ability to deliver by the biggest customers.
Implementation of this agreement will begin shortly, and HRS will provide further details in a subsequent press release.
Hassen Rachedi, founder and CEO of HRS, said:
This recognition from a major player for this ambitious project is a validation of our constant efforts to meet the challenges of the energy transition.
“This first order for our HRS160 is an important milestone for HRS, rewarding the commitment of our teams to developing ever more efficient stations adapted to the growing needs of the market. I am convinced that this station will demonstrate the relevance of hydrogen for refueling heavy vehicle fleets, and pave the way for new opportunities.”
