GCK orders 10 hydrogen-retrofitted coaches from Autocars Dominique & B.E.
With an order for 10 retrofitted hydrogen coaches, the Autocars Dominique & B.E. green company has chosen Green Corp Konnection (GCK) to quicken the greening of its transportation fleet.
The batteries placed in the coaches will be provided by GCK Batteries in addition to the retrofit, which will be completed by GCK Mobility teams on the Lempdes industrial site.
These Iveco Crossway coaches will be transformed by GCK Mobility by swapping out the diesel engine and transmission with a 370kW electric motor, batteries, and H2 fuel cell. The operation will preserve all of the seats and luggage space, and the car will have a 300-kilometer range and a 700-bar recharge capacity in 15 minutes.
Following a number of long-distance coach orders, GCK is advancing its technological know-how and expanding its selection of adapted heavy-duty vehicles with medium-distance coaches for urban school transportation.

The first plastic-to-hydrogen plant’s feasibility study has already been completed by Powerhouse, and National H2 has started a capital raise on VCEX to fund the next phases of the site’s development in West Mundijong, Western Australia.
The facility is anticipated to begin operating in the first half of 2024, producing more than 1,200 tonnes of hydrogen annually and bringing in more than $6 million.
National H2 expects to establish three more Powerhouse-based operating hydrogen plants in Singapore, New South Wales, and Western Australia by Q3 of FY24.
Hydrogen PEM fuel cell retrofit of HyEkoTank project launches
An EU-funded project that will last 36 months is working to develop the technology necessary to refit a bitumen carrier with a 2.4 MW fuel cell system and swappable hydrogen storage.
The HyEkoTank project was launched in Lysaker, Norway, by eight project partners from three European nations (Norway, Sweden, and the Netherlands), who also discussed the procedures the consortium will follow during the project’s implementation period as well as the work to be done in the upcoming period. A project with a 36-month lifespan, the HyEkoTank is supported by the European Union through the Horizon Europe initiative.
For maritime applications, the HyEkoTank consortium has recognized a need for optimized hydrogen fuel cell technologies. The collaboration was established to combine considerable expertise and understanding in fuel cells, hydrogen, and the marine sector, and to offer a solution to refit fleets cost-effectively to drastically cut their GHG emissions.
In order to convert the current fleet and hasten the achievement of climate neutrality for both sea-going and inland waterway waterborne transport, the HyEkoTank project proposes to develop and implement a retrofit solution in 2024.

Iberdrola’s Huelva green hydrogen project gets IPCEI status
The “IPCEI HyUse” initiative, a mechanism approved by the European Commission in September to endow 35 member state projects with 5.2 billion euros, has chosen Iberdrola’s green hydrogen project as an Important Project of European Interest. With this project, Iberdrola hopes to create the “largest green hydrogen pole” in Spain in Palos de la Frontera (Huelva).
In particular, line 4 of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, which is funded by the Next Generation EU Funds, is where this approach is expressed in Spain.
Iberdrola therefore anticipates that the Ministry will resolve the assistance that will “enable” the launch of the projects mentioned in the IPCEI call throughout the second quarter of this year.
In addition, Iberdrola will develop a high-capacity electrolyser fueled entirely by renewable energy in two phases in Huelva with the goal of creating the largest green hydrogen facility in all of Spain.
