Everfuel opens first hydrogen bus depot in Germany
Published on: May 30, 2024
The site is located in Frankfurt and will be operated by municipal bus company In-der-City-Bus’.
Everfuel has announced the opening of the hydrogen refueling station at the Frankfurt municipal bus company In-der-City-Bus’ (ICB) bus depot in Germany.
The station is owned by the bus operator ICB and will serve 23 zero emission fuel cell buses used for daily city and municipal public transportation. The company developed and constructed the refueling station and will supply hydrogen to ICB on a minimum three-year contract.
“We are pleased to celebrate the inauguration of ICB’s refuelling station. The opening is an important step in Everfuel’s ambition to make hydrogen available for heavy-duty mobility fleets starting in Germany,” says Lars Jakobsen, Sales Director of Everfuel.
The hydrogen will be delivered by Everfuel’s hydrogen trailers. Supplying hydrogen to heavy-duty mobility applications is part of the firm’s strategy to develop large-scale production of green hydrogen in Denmark and supply customers across Europe, starting with Germany.
This is Everfuel’s second dedicated bus station and plays a key part in its strategy to provide clean energy solutions for public transportation, supporting Frankfurt’s transition to zero-emission buses.
ICB’s hydrogen depot station has capacity for refueling at least 23 fuel cell buses daily and has potential to scale capacity as demand grows.
Following the opening, the company is currently supplying hydrogen to two dedicated bus stations with Wuppertal bus station in Germany as the next station to be added to the portfolio.
