8 December 2023Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas package agreement marks milestone in European energy policy
8 December 2023Hexagon Purus has been awarded an undisclosed purchase order from Ford Trucks to deliver a hydrogen fuel storage system.
The system will be utilised for Ford’s prototype heavy-duty truck, the fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) F-MAX, as part of the Horizon Europe project Zero Emission Freight EcoSystem (ZEFES).
ZEFES is a pan-European project designed to target decarbonisation of long-haul heavy-duty trucking in Europe, with Ford Trucks supporting the initiative in deploying and delivering its prototype truck, which will operate as part of a large fleet of zero-emission trucks collecting data.
Hexagon Purus’ hydrogen storage system is expected to be delivered in Q1 2024.
Michael Kleschinski, EVP of Hexagon Purus, said, “We are using our in-depth knowledge of lightweight, reliable and safe hydrogen storage technology to help Ford Trucks pave the way for fuel cell electric long-haul heavy-duty trucking in Europe.”
The ZEFES project will deploy a total of nine different long-haul truck configurations split into six battery-electric and three fuel cell electric trucks.
