COMPANY

A hydrogen truck produced by the American manufacturer Hyzon Motors, and put into service by GCA Trans Service (Charles André Group), should circulate in 2023 in France, more precisely in the Grand Est.

The PVC manufacturer Ineos Inovyn has just announced that it has reached an agreement with its client Benvic, so that delivery between their industrial sites, that of Ineos Inovyn in Tavaux (Jura) and that of Benvic in Chevigny-Saint-Sauveur (Côte -d'Or), is done with a tank assembly towed by a hydrogen truck. The photo shows a Hyzon brand tractor. The journey between the two factories is 40 km.


A hydrogen-powered Hyzon fuel cell truck, operated by GCA, is expected to run between Tavaux and Dijon in the Grand Est of France, at the end of the first quarter of 2023.

Ineos Inovyn would thus become the first company in Europe to use a hydrogen truck for the transport of PVC. The new truck was presented on October 20 at the Inovyn Awards ceremony. Deliveries will begin at the end of the first quarter of 2023, announces the manufacturer, who estimates the gain in CO2 emissions at 60 t per year, and announces that similar projects are already planned in the Netherlands and Belgium.

The carrier selected for the service with the hydrogen truck is GCA Trans Service. The Hyzon truck is assembled on the basis of a Daf chassis in which the diesel engine is replaced by fuel cells powered by hydrogen. It has a range of 500 km between two refuelings.

Green hydrogen in Dijon
The hydrogen supply will be a local station in Dijon providing green H2, announces the industrialist. Because the Ineos group will not only be the customer who transports its PVC goods via a hydrogen road unit: it is also a supplier of this type of “fuel”.

“Providing hydrogen to the transport market is a key step in our new Ineos Hydrogen business strategy, which also includes new hydrogen production from water electrolysis, as well as hydrogen storage and the development of the supply of downstream chemical product chains ,” explains Geir Tuft, CEO of Ineos Inovyn.
