“#FUELCELLS #DecarbonizedHeavyDutyTransport: Air Liquide Deploys Its First #HydrogenTrucks in the Netherlands” Fuel Cells Works - June 19, 2026 “Air Liquide is taking a new step toward #decarbonizedlogistics by putting its first two #hydrogenpoweredtrucks into service in the Netherlands. Conducted in partnership with transport company Schenk, this pilot initiative aligns with a shared objective to reach #carbonneutrality by 2050.” “The deployment of these vehicles fulfills a strategic mission: delivering #hydrogen to supply stations across the region of Rotterdam, while paving the way for the future of more #sustainableheavydutytransport. It is a highly coherent approach, as highlighted by Axelle Albot, Project Manager at Air Liquide: "We are not only providing solutions to #decarbonize industry and mobility, but we are also using those very same solutions to decarbonize our own supply chain."” “As Matthijs Cools, Transport Category Manager at Air Liquide, explains, this choice offers "the best of both worlds by combining a proven engine technology with a #carbonfreefuel." Furthermore, this energy source provides a decisive logistical advantage, as explained by Hans Mulder, Technology and Procurement Director at Schenk: "The vehicles have a lower weight compared to the #batterypoweredvehicles. That helps us a lot in increasing the payload." Refueling times are also considerably reduced. On the road, the transition is proving to be seamless: according to Sophie Blanchart, a driver at Schenk, "You can feel the power, but the driving remains very light and smooth, even with a heavy trailer. The truck responds very well, maneuvering is simple, and the range is remarkable. It offers a much cleaner and more serene working comfort on a daily basis!" https://lnkd.in/ehpgwj35 Source- original post 👍 LIKE. ♻️ REPOST. ➕ FOLLOW me, Marius Preston, for daily insights. 🔍 READ all my posts #MariusPreston
