Daimler Buses is collaborating with H2 MOBILITY to improve the rollout of hydrogen-based infrastructure for buses in Germany.
This partnership seeks to simplify the transition to hydrogen-fuelled buses by offering public hydrogen filling stations in close proximity to transportation companies.
These stations, provided by H2 MOBILITY will be made available at existing locations or through the development of new ones.
Additionally, transportation operators can opt to have an H2 dispenser installed at their own depots, without any investment costs.
This initiative will support the rollout of Daimler Buses’ eCitaro fuel cell model.
Mirko Sgodda, Head of Marketing, Sales and Customer Services at Daimler Buses said:With our eCitaro fuel cell, we have had a battery-electric bus in our portfolio since 2023 which is equipped with a hydrogen-based fuel cell to extend the range. We want to offer our customers the best solutions for smooth operation – and this includes a hydrogen tank facility in the immediate vicinity, or at their own depot. With H2 MOBILITY Germany, we have found a partner that makes this possible and significantly reduces the complexity for transportation companies, from installation to ongoing operation.
This collaboration aims to remove the need for transportation companies to build and maintain their own hydrogen infrastructure. Instead, H2 MOBILITY, Europe’s largest public hydrogen filling station operator, will manage the construction, operation, and supply of hydrogen to these stations.
