Pilot 4. Hydrogen-powered freight transport

Scope:

Hydrogen trucks on the move

Two heavy FCEV trucks will be deployed by JOANCA on national routes, with plans to expand across Europe. Equipped with 116 kg tanks at 700 bar, each vehicle has a 1,500 km range and can refuel in just 12 minutes, at the innovative refuelling station.

The pilot will monitor fuel consumption (7–8 kg/100 km), infrastructure compatibility, and operational performance to assess the viability of low-emission logistics.
