Discussing hydrogen as the potential energy source for the upcoming Formula 1 Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort
In the rapidly evolving landscape of zero-emission mobility, the Renault Group and HYVIA are leading the charge in the Dutch market and beyond.
The Renault Group, a major player in the industry, aims to have the greenest mix of vehicles on the market by 2030. They have already made significant strides, with the Renault Master Van H2-TECH being tested in various countries, including the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Germany.
Meanwhile, HYVIA, a pioneer in hydrogen preparation technologies, has announced plans to expand its presence in the French, German, and broader European markets in the coming years. The company's goal is to capture 30% of the segment in Europe by 2030.
HYVIA has made a significant impact in the hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicle market, thanks to its innovative fuel cell technology. This technology has caught the attention of the Renault Group, which has prioritised HYVIA's hydrogen-powered vehicles.
The Netherlands, a country at the forefront of zero-emission mobility, is an important market for HYVIA. Recently, the company has signed orders with GP Groot, Warmtebouw, and Pot Verhuizingen.
Renault Group is also responding to the strong demand for low-carbon vehicles in the Netherlands, particularly from professionals. They believe hydrogen power is particularly relevant for intensive use by professionals. To support this, they have established the Renault Pro+ distribution network to service HYVIA's hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles.
Strategic partners for service, repair, and maintenance of these vehicles in the Netherlands include Bochane Groep, Stam Autobedrijven, Terwolde, and Van Mossel.
First orders for hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles in the Netherlands have already been signed by Renault Group. HYVIA will be supplying a Renault Master Van H2-TECH to the teams at the Viry-Châtillon site for their logistics needs.
Plug, another key player in the hydrogen scene, is extending its know-how to transport to develop hydrogen-powered mobility solutions in Europe, partnering with Renault Group and HYVIA. Plug has been building a green hydrogen ecosystem, integrating production, storage, and delivery.
Bruno Famin, VP Motorsports Alpine, has also discussed the exploration of hydrogen internal combustion engine possibilities for racing and Formula 1. Alpine aims to be at the forefront of hydrogen research for the decarbonisation of future Formula 1 and endurance racing cars.
As thirty cities in the Netherlands are expected to become low-emission zones by 2024, it's clear that the future of mobility in Europe is hydrogen-powered, and the Renault Group and HYVIA are at the heart of this revolution. Hydrogen power complements electric power to offer sustainable, customized, and intelligent solutions without compromise.
