Hynion was informed yesterday that the Energy Authorities will provide a grant of SEK 61,4 million to fund the construction of two high-capacity hydrogen stations in Västerås and Jönkøping.
The stations will have a daily capacity of 1,500 kg and will be constructed to accommodate the newly phased-in trucks.
“This is an important step forward for hydrogen for the transport sector”, says Slavica Djuric, CEO of Hynion Sweden. “We now see clear action from the Swedish authorities that they are serious about introducing hydrogen for heavy transport, which makes us very optimistic about the development. These two stations are located in central logistics hubs which mean that a lot to the transport companies that now will convert to zero emissions. Cars will of course also be welcomed” Slavica Djuric concludes.
“Together with our stations in Sandviken, Stockholm and Gothenburg, we are forming a network that will allow the roll-out of hydrogen to accelerate”, says Ulf Hafseld, CEO of Hynion AS. “Now, it will soon be possible to travel between large and important cities in Sweden on hydrogen, and we look forward to welcoming the trucks to our stations. It is also exciting to see that Sweden takes a leading role in paving the way for the use of hydrogen for heavy transport”, Hafseld continues.
