IVECO builds innovative H2 filling station in Ulm as part of Hy-FIVE as a holistic model test for green hydrogen

Ulm, 07-04-2022

This Monday (04.07.2022) the kick-off for the project "HY-FIVE - Model Region Green Hydrogen Baden-Württemberg" took place in Schwäbisch-Gmünd: State Secretary Dr. Andre Baumann from the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy symbolically presented the project consortium with a total funding amount of around 32 million euros.

The funding is provided by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the state of Baden-Württemberg. The aim of the Hy-FIVE project is to test a hydrogen economy in both rural and urban areas. The activities focus on four flagship projects that map the entire value chain from production to use in industry, transport and district solutions.

Cities, municipalities, project partners from business and science implement the concrete model projects. These include the construction of electrolyzers for hydrogen production, filling station infrastructure and distribution systems. With its joint venture, Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH, IVECO is responsible for the construction of an innovative hydrogen filling station and will at the same time test the necessary infrastructure. Initially, the facility is mainly intended for own use, i.e. for the refueling of the test fleet as well as the first filling of the Nikola Tre FCEV manufactured in Ulm. However, the filling station is successively transferred to public operation. Due to the predicted quantities and market requirements, the filling station is designed as a high-performance plant and can refuel gaseous hydrogen with 700 bar in an amount of about 80 kilograms in 15 to 20 minutes. The quantity is sufficient for a Nikola Tre for more than 800 kilometers. The project is moving on new technological territory and also benefits from the proximity of science based in Ulm (TH Ulm, ZSW). The commissioning of the H2 filling station is for the 1st Quarter 2024.
