Cummins, through its affiliate Hydrogenics Europe N.V., has signed a contract to supply a 2.5-megawatt (MW) electrolyzer to Hysetco, a hydrogen mobility company owned by Total Energies, Air Liquide, Toyota, Kouros and others. The electrolyzer will enable local hydrogen production in Paris, France, to power Hysetco’s ambitious project, which aspires to develop and operate the world’s first large-scale hydrogen mobility platform that integrates hydrogen production, distribution and use.
The Hysetco project initially will aim to create the largest hydrogen taxi fleet worldwide, fueled by 12 large hydrogen refueling stations, by 2024. The initiative aims to accelerate the transition of on-demand transport and other professional mobility – such as commercial vehicles, buses and heavy goods vehicles – to zero-emissions. This project is a vital step in decarbonizing transportation and mobility in pursuit of carbon neutrality.
“Thanks to Cummins’ reputation in the market and their strong experience in hydrogen, this makes them a suitable partner for our project,” said Loic Voisin CEO of Hysetco “We are happy to partner up with them and share the same drive of moving towards zero carbon emissions.”
