Luxfer Gas Cylinders partners with Reynolds Logistics to support HyHaul hydrogen corridor
Luxfer Gas Cylinders has been commissioned to supply its high-capacity hydrogen storage systems to support the UK’s first dedicated hydrogen mobility corridor along the M4.
As part of the Hydrogen Aggregated UK Logistics Project (HyHaul), specialist bulk liquid and gas transport company Reynolds Logistics will deploy Luxfer’s G-Stor® Hydrosphere Multiple Element Gas Containers (MEGCs).
The 40ft MEGCs have been chosen for their pioneering 380 bar hydrogen storage and significant 1012kg hydrogen capacity. Manufactured at Luxfer’s bespoke Nottingham facility, these units allow for the most efficient transport of hydrogen, designed with fewer cylinders, valves and connections than was previously possible.
HyHaul, led by Protium and supported by over £30 million in Department for Transport (DfT) and Innovate UK funding, will bring together leading technologies in sustainable logistics. The project will deploy 30 hydrogen fuel cell HGVs along the M4 corridor, supported by three new hydrogen refuelling stations.
Mark Lawday, VP and General Manager at Luxfer Gas Cylinders, said :
Luxfer is pleased to partner with Reynolds for the supply of our G-Stor® Hydrosphere MEGCs,
“HyHaul is an important demonstration of how advanced hydrogen transport solutions can be applied to enable adoption at scale.”
Andrew Reynolds, CEO at Reynolds Logistics, adds:
This partnership with Luxfer is a cornerstone of our commitment to enabling the hydrogen economy.
“By investing in MEGCs, we’re securing critical infrastructure for HyHaul and ensuring our logistics model is future-ready, flexible, and aligned with the UK’s net-zero ambitions. We look forward to expanding this positive partnership as the HyHaul project rolls out.”
HyHAUL is funded by the UK Government through the £200 million Department for Transport’s (DfT) Zero Emission HGV and Infrastructure Demonstrator (ZEHID) programme. It aims to deploy 30 hydrogen-powered HGVs by 2026, with a long-term goal of expanding to 300 vehicles by 2030
