Hympulsion Orders 4 New HRS Stations As Part Of The Hydrogen Mobility Program ‘zero Emission Valley’ In The Auvergne-rhone-alpes Region (France)
Grenoble, 17 December 2024 – HRS, French designer and manufacturer, and European leader in hydrogen refueling stations, announces that it has received a new order from HYmpulsion, the company in charge of the Zero Emission Valley (“ZEV”) project, for the installation of four new HRS14[1] stations in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France), with commissioning scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2025.
This new order brings the total number of orders placed by HYmpulsion with HRS as part of the ZEV project to a total of eight stations, demonstrating HYmpulsion’s recognition of the quality and reliability of the stations supplied by HRS. As a reminder, an HRS14 station has already been installed at Saint-Priest (France, 69) as part of this project. In addition, an HRS14 station at Aubenas (France, 07) and two HRS40 stations (40 kg/hour or 1 ton/day) at Lyon Saint Exupéry (France, 69) and Malataverne (France, 26) are currently being installed and will be operational within the next few weeks.
The four new hydrogen refueling stations will join HYmpulsion’s fleet in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, boosting the hydrogen mobility transition and reinforcing its territorial coverage. They will be open to the public for refueling light and heavy vehicles.
The Zero Emission Valley project aims to develop a profitable and sustainable low-carbon mobility sector in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, through the simultaneous deployment of green hydrogen production, storage and distribution infrastructures on the one hand, and the provision of hydrogen-powered vehicles on the other. The plan thus aims to deploy more than 15 renewable hydrogen distribution stations, an electrolyzer able to produce 800 kg of hydrogen per day in situ, and more than 1,000 hydrogen vehicles for intensive mobility.
Thierry Raevel, President of HYmpulsion, comments:
While we aim to make Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes the leading region in France in terms of deployment of renewable hydrogen infrastructures, we are delighted to be continuing our privileged relationship with HRS.
“The company has already demonstrated its technological expertise and ability to rapidly deliver and deploy ordered stations in the field, while 3 stations ordered in 2023 will be operational by the 1st quarter of 2025. We know we can count on HRS’s responsiveness, as well as the great reliability and robustness of its stations, which make the company a key partner in France and Europe. ”
Hassen Rachedi, founder and CEO of HRS, added:
We are delighted to receive this new sign of confidence from HYmpulsion. This additional order rewards our unique know-how and the commitment of our employees to a pioneer in the development of hydrogen mobility in France.
“We are proud to continue our collaboration with HYmpulsion and to contribute to the growth of this ambitious program in the service of hydrogen mobility. ”
