Explanatory Notes

Clean Logistics is significantly expanding its business activities with the planned supply of hydrogen-based heavy-duty trucks. In the future, the company will expand its activities to include new vehicles in addition to its existing main business area, the conversion of buses and trucks from fossil internal combustion engine drive to hydrogen drive. Through the acquisition of the Dutch truck manufacturer GINAF (see ad hoc dated July 25, 2022), Clean Logistics believes it is excellently positioned to significantly ramp up the independent production of trucks and buses with zero-emission hydrogen drive within the Group. Through the acquisition of GINAF, Clean Logistics has a group company with the status of an independent producer with the corresponding registration requirements of its own vehicles in Europe.

With its 500 employees, the GP JOULE Group implements the holistic energy revolution: from power generation from wind, sun and biomass to the marketing of energy and its use in households, industry, heating networks and mobility. GP JOULE HYDROGEN is responsible for the production and supply of green hydrogen from renewable energy sources, builds and operates hydrogen filling stations and will also provide its customers in logistics, trade and industry with the corresponding vehicles. In this way, GP JOULE HYDROGEN can offer a complete range of services from a single source along the entire value chain.

Dirk Graszt, CEO of Clean Logistics: 'This contract for the delivery of 5,000 trucks represents a significant milestone in the decarbonization of heavy-duty transport. It is the largest contract of its kind in the world. Together with our partner GP JOULE, we will ensure that hydrogen-powered trucks will soon be an everyday part of road transport. The long-awaited traffic turnaround in heavy-duty transport is thus gaining further momentum and will now be put into practice step by step over the next few years.'

Ove Petersen, CEO at GP JOULE: 'In Clean Logistics, we have found the perfect partner who will support us in covering the entire value chain from a single source, from the production and storage of hydrogen to the development of a corresponding infrastructure and the provision of hydrogen-electric vehicles. This fleet of vehicles will be able to save more than 325,000 tons of CO2 annually when in use and will lead the way for the green logistics of tomorrow. We look forward to working together and are confident about a clean and emission-free environment.'
