H2 Mobility, Daimler Buses partner for hydrogen development in Germany

The cooperation enables the use of public hydrogen stations provided by H2, expanding the bus manufacturer’s capabilities through a holistic consulting approach.

Daimler Buses and H2 Mobility are cooperating in the expansion of the hydrogen tank infrastructure for transportation companies. 

From now on, the bus manufacturer will be brokering the range of hydrogen tank services for buses with hydrogen-based fuel cells as part of a holistic consulting approach. H2 Mobility is building further hydrogen filling stations in the direct vicinity of transportation companies in a demand-oriented manner.

The publicly accessible filling stations are operated by the company, eliminating investment and operating costs for bus operators. At the same time, the public H2 tank infrastructure will be strengthened and further expanded.

“With this cooperation, we are creating optimal solutions for hydrogen mobility in local and long-distance passenger transport. By using the public H2 Mobility filling station network, companies benefit from enormous cost savings, and from our technical and operational experience gained over the last ten years,” said Falk Schulte-Wintrop, Director Sales & Business Development at H2 Mobility. 

This cooperation supplements the existing portfolio with a solution for hydrogen tank systems, which outsources the entire complexity and is easy to implement for Daimler Buses customers.

Before the end of the year, the H2 Mobility station network will offer buses and trucks the option of refueling at 350 bar at more than 50 locations. The company currently operates 34 of these stations in Germany.
