FROM EUROPE TO SAUDI ARABIA: HRS EXPANDS WITH 7 NEW STATIONS

First 1-ton/day station installed at Champagnier test site

At its industrial site near Grenoble, HRS installed its first HRS40 station, capable of distributing
1 tonne/day. This high-capacity station marks a milestone in HRS's development of advanced hydrogen refueling technology. Integrated into the company's test center, it allows HRS to conduct real-world testing, part of its continuous improvement efforts. The company plans to install stations with capacities of up to 4 tonnes/day in the coming years.

First station installed outside Europe in Saudi Arabia

In the summer of 2024, HRS will install an HRS14 station to support a fleet of 20 buses and light vehicles. This project marks HRS's first station outside Europe and represents a key step in its international growth strategy, particularly in the Middle East, a region with significant potential for future opportunities.

Transportable station for GCK in Buc for 2024 summer sporting events

HRS installed a modular HRS14 station (200 kg/day) in Buc (Yvelines), Île-de-France, for GCK Energy for the summer 2024 sporting events in Paris. This mobile station refueled B.E. Green's fleet of retrofitted buses and coaches, in collaboration with Toyota Motor Corporation. Over the summer, nearly 1,000 refueling operations were completed, distributing more than 3.2 tonnes of hydrogen.

Two large-capacity stations in Dunkirk (Nord-Pas-de-Calais) for SPAC

HRS is building one of the largest hydrogen stations in France, capable of delivering up to 500 kg of hydrogen per day, in Dunkirk. The SHYMED project (Hydrogen Solution for Electric Mobility in Dunkirk), carried out by Hynamics, the Dunkirk Urban Community, and the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, with SPAC (Colas Group) as the main contractor, will provide hydrogen for up to ten buses and the city's refuse collection vehicles.

Two new Plug Power hydrogen stations in Spain

As part of its ongoing partnership with Plug Power, HRS recently completed the installation of its 5th and 6th stations on logistics sites in Spain. These stations will supply hydrogen to Plug Power's fuel cell-powered forklift fleets.

5 NEW STATIONS TO BE INSTALLED BY THE END OF 2024

HRS plans to install 5 more stations by the end of 2024, including three HRS40 stations with a
1 tonne/day capacity at customer sites, reinforcing its leading position in the sector.

HRS teams will install HRS40 stations in Lyon Saint-Exupéry (69) and Malataverne (26) for Hympulsion as part of the Zero Emission Valley project, and in Saint-Sulpice (81) for Seven. Additionally, an HRS14 station will be installed for Hympulsion in Aubenas (07), and another in Lorient (56) for HyGO (a joint venture between ENGIE Solutions and SEM 56 Energies), capable of refueling a fleet of 19 buses simultaneously, a first in France.

Thanks to its innovative modular design, HRS continues to meet the growing needs of its customers, playing a key role in the energy transition by helping to build the hydrogen ecosystems of tomorrow.
