The Hysetco project initially will aim to create the largest hydrogen taxi fleet worldwide, fuelled by 12 large hydrogen refuelling 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 decarbonising transportation and mobility in pursuit of carbon neutrality.
Loic Voisin CEO of Hysetco said: “Thanks to Cummins’ reputation in the market and their strong experience in hydrogen, this makes them a suitable partner for our project. We are happy to partner up with them and share the same drive of moving towards zero carbon emissions.”
The Cummins electrolyser system will consist of a 2.5 MW HyLYZER®-500 proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyser, producing up to 380 tpy of hydrogen. Hysetco will use renewable energy to power the electrolyser, ensuring that the hydrogen is green, and the production process is completely carbon neutral.
“Accelerating decarbonisation through partnerships with companies like Hysetco is key to Cummins’ Destination Zero strategy,” said Piet Berens, Cummins Managing Director. We are committed to establishing green hydrogen as a viable alternative energy vector and furthering the green hydrogen economy globally. This exciting project is an innovative example of hydrogen’s potential to decarbonize transportation and mobility at scale, and we are proud to be a part of it.”
