\"\"Berlin, 19 November 2025 | New hydrogen station alliance urges OEMs to accelerate the next phase of hydrogen mobility through vehicle rollout and expanded model offerings. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Six leading European operators of hydrogen refuelling stations have formed the H2 Infrastructure Alliance to accelerate the rollout of hydrogen mobility. The alliance stresses the importance for the availability of vehicle models. The goal is to align and speed-up infrastructure and vehicle deployment until 2028.<\/p>\n

The Hydrogen Infrastructure Alliance (H2IA)<\/strong>
\nThe alliance includes prominent members from various European member states \u2013 Hydri (Sweden), TEAL Mobility (France), Fountain Fuel (Netherlands), H2 MOBILITY (Germany), Virya Energy (Belgium) and HYmpulsion (France). These companies jointly operate 92 hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) for light- and heavy-duty fleets, with 39 more large-scale stations planned by 2028 \u2013 which will be enough to refuel over 1,800 trucks daily. The alliance has initiated conversations with leading vehicle manufacturers about accelerating hydrogen mobility.<\/p>\n

Breaking the chicken \u2013 or egg dilemma<\/strong>
\nWith an ambitious yet realistic pace, it will be possible to realize a connected network of stations that cover Europe. This is what the alliance refers to as \u2018Connecting the Dots\u2019, as illustrated on the attached map. By taking the lead and expanding the refuelling infrastructure first, it is possible to break through what is often described as the chicken-or-egg dilemma.<\/p>\n

Refuelling infrastructure provides the vehicle manufacturers with confidence to ramp-up vehicle development and deployment efforts. Larger volumes of vehicles and a variety of models available, in turn, lead to a quicker growth of the refuelling network \u2013 and, most importantly, to a lower cost for end-users, both for vehicles and for hydrogen fuel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Connecting the dots<\/strong>
\nThe rollout of hydrogen vehicles and refuelling stations mirrors how the build-out of mobile infrastructure and networks fueled the rapid rise of mobile phone use in the early 2000s. Transmission towers and good signal coverage led to a strong increase in mobile telephone use. In return, this led to the placement of more, and improved, transmission towers and ultimately to advancements such as the G5 networks. With high numbers of transmission towers, mobile phones and high utilizations rates the total costs of using the system decreased.<\/p>\n

Hydrogen is alive & kicking<\/strong>
\nThe potential for hydrogen vehicles is growing. \u201cOur focus is on advancing the regulatory framework at the European level. Heavy-duty transport is a decisive driver of hydrogen mobility in Europe. We see this every day at our stations in Germany, where buses and trucks already account for well over 70 per cent of demand. It is essential that we continue on this path across Europe. The H2 Infrastructure Alliance sends an important signal in this respect: the development of a pan-European refuelling network is already well under way and now requires clear commitment from OEMs to increase vehicle numbers,\u201d explains Martin J\u00fcngel, Managing Director and CFO of H2 MOBILITY.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hydrogen is complementary to battery-electric<\/strong>
\nThe members of the H2IA stress that battery-electric and hydrogen are complementary techniques. Both technologies are needed to meet diverse customer needs \u2013 from long-haul transport and flexibility requirements, to ‘convoi exceptionnel’ transport and intensive operations. Hydrogen is particularly important in regions where electric grid capacity constrains the deployment of fast-charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

About H2 Infrastructure Alliance<\/strong>
\nThe Hydrogen Infrastructure Alliance (H2IA) was founded by the leading EU-operators of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure: Hydri, H2 MOBILITY, Fountain Fuel, TEAL Mobility, HYmpulsion and Virya Energy. The alliance intents to coordinate and speed-up infrastructure and vehicle deployment efforts for hydrogen mobility until 2028. The goal is to realize a connected network of stations that cover Europe, which is what the alliance calls ‘Connecting the Dots’.<\/p>\n

About H2 MOBILITY<\/strong>
\nH2 MOBILITY is a pioneer in the development of public hydrogen refuelling infrastructure and Europe\u2019s largest operator of hydrogen refuelling stations. Its business areas include technical development, financing, planning, construction, marketing and operation of hydrogen stations. The company is also increasingly active in the services sector, offering consulting, station construction and operations, calibration, and quality assurance. Founded in 2015 as a project company to promote hydrogen as an emission-free fuel for road transport, H2 MOBILITY transitioned in 2022 into a long-term, commercially oriented enterprise. Its mission is to contribute to the energy transition in transport through high-performance hydrogen refuelling solutions. H2 MOBILITY aims to transition fully to renewable hydrogen by 2028.<\/p>\n
