Following a successful test period at the Antwerp Euroterminal in Beveren, the hydrogen proof-of-concept tractor arrived at PSA Antwerp for two weeks of testing in conjunction with a mobile hydrogen filling station. At the terminal, the tractor will be handling containers.
The testing period in Belgium is part of the Hydrolog project, which is led by the Flanders Institute for Logistics (VIL), and the results will be used to further develop the concept tractor.
The tractor was tested at two sites in the Netherlands (UWT Rotterdam and CTU Utrecht) at the end of 2020 and the first half of 2021 before being shipped to Belgium for additional testing at three customer sites (a distribution centre, Antwerp Euroterminal and PSA Antwerp).
