For the first time in Europe, Germany is bringing together the full ecosystem needed to scale the deployment of hydrogen trucks by 2030, combining supportive policy frameworks, a strong OEM offering and an integrated hydrogen supply chain and infrastructure.
Leading companies from the transport, energy and industrial sectors, together with German policymakers, are collaborating to establish a benchmark for a fully integrated hydrogen mobility ecosystem for heavy duty transport. They reflect a shared ambition to scale hydrogen with a focus on customer oriented refuelling infrastructure and competitively priced hydrogen fuel.
Volvo Group, Daimler Truck, Toyota Motor Corporation, Bosch, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, Teal Mobility, and MB Energy, are amongst the companies taking part in the project.
Delivering a comprehensive hydrogen ecosystem that complements battery electric solutions requires coordinated development across the entire value chain with focus on commercialising competitive vehicles, deploying strategically located refuelling infrastructure aligned with customer needs, and ensuring reliable access to hydrogen at viable price levels. Together, these elements can create the conditions for a competitive total cost of ownership and position hydrogen as a practical, scalable solution for zero emission transport.
Further details will be announced on September 15 at IAA Transportation 2026.
