Hyundai Mobis said that its board of directors had approved an investment of 1.32 trillion won ($1.11 billion) to build hydrogen fuel cell production facilities in the cities of Incheon and Ulsan.

PRF Gas Solutions has officially launched its DRHYVE portable hydrogen car refueling station. This mobile refueling station, a first in Portugal, will be used to recharge fuel-cell automobiles. The new hydrogen refueling station, dubbed DRHYVE, presently supplies 350 bar to heavy and light cars and will eventually supply 700 bar to light vehicles. The system was implemented in the Portuguese city of Cascais and now supplies two buses that are also made locally (by Caetano Bus), as well as a light car. According to Bruno Faustino, Director of the Hydrogen Business Unit, “PRF already has in construction the 2nd DRHYVE…

The Scottish Hydrogen Fuel Cell Freight Trial (SHyFT), led by Arcola Energy, has been awarded funding by the Department for Transport’s Zero Emission Road Freight initiative to develop a trial of hydrogen fuel cell trucks in Scotland, complemented by a green hydrogen refueling infrastructure. The project will assess the potential for zero-emission fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) with key fleet operators intending to decarbonize operations in emission-sensitive sectors such as utilities, forestry, and wholesale food and beverage logistics – including cold chain. Among the project’s participants are NewCold, which will conduct a comprehensive assessment of cold chain logistics, The Scottish…
