Vireon has announced plans to build the first of four large-scale hydrogen refuelling stations in Finland.
The Norwegian Hydrogen subsidiary plans to construct the station in Jyväskylä, the regional capital of Central Finland.
Focusing primarily on heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, the station will also cater to light vehicles. The capacity and hydrogen supply details remain undisclosed.
This station is part of a collaboration with the Central Finland Mobility Foundation (CEFMOF) and the City of Jyväskylä. Vireon Managing Director, Per Øyvind Voie, stated that the station would support the city’s climate goals and enhance hydrogen use in Finland’s mobility sector. He emphasized Jyväskylä’s strategic location and robust partnerships as key factors.
In conjunction with the new station, a pilot trial of five Caetano H2 City Gold buses will commence in Jyväskylä in 2025. Jyväskylä Mayor, Timo Koivisto, highlighted the project’s significance for developing a green hydrogen ecosystem in the city.
Vireon entered the market last March with the ambitious goal of becoming the largest hydrogen refuelling station operator for heavy transport in the Nordics.
