Together with the technology company Mobility & Innovation Production (MIP), testing of the first hydrogen truck in Slovakia has begun. This step is part of HHLA’s strategy to create climate-neutral transport and is aimed at achieving environmentally friendly container transportation for customers.
On November 14, an innovative development built on the Ford F-Max platform was presented at the Slovakia Ring circuit. The truck is equipped with cutting-edge technologies: a REFIRE fuel cell with a capacity of 117 kW/h, a Dana Sumo engine and hydrogen tanks with a capacity of 48 kg, which provides a range of up to 750 km with a gross weight of 45 tons. At the event, HHLA and MIP signed a memorandum on joint testing of the truck in container logistics operations.
“We are delighted to have the opportunity to test the new hydrogen-powered truck from MIP for our container transport operations. Innovations like this allow us to offer our customers environmentally friendly transport solutions not only by rail but also by road. This is another crucial step towards decarbonising Europe’s logistics chains.”, – noted CEO, Peter KISS.
Mobility & Innovation Production specializes in the development of zero-emission vehicles and supports the EU’s sustainability goals. This project supports HHLA’s strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, including the use of hydrogen technologies in port logistics and comparing them with battery-electric systems.
