Feedback from France’s first hydrogen trucks in service – Over 60,000 km driven – more than a Round-the-World journey by transporters and shippers convinced by Hyliko’s solution
a leader in the decarbonization of heavy-duty vehicles through green hydrogen and its innovative “Hydrogen & Trucks as a Service” offer
is proud to announce that its first hydrogen trucks
have already covered over 60,000 kilometers in just four months — surpassing the distance of a full round-the-world trip
This milestone highlights the reliability and performance of these zero-emission vehicles
as well as their significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions in the heavy transport sector
Over 60,000 km traveled and tons of CO₂ avoided
Hyliko’s customers have avoided emitting 52.5 tons of CO₂ over the course of these 60,000 kilometers
Powered by green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources
these trucks not only reduce their carbon footprint but also emit zero local pollutants
This sustainable energy alternative to fossil diesel is a concrete step forward in preserving air quality
France’s first hydrogen hub for Heavy-Duty vehicles: success in villabé
A key enabler of this achievement is the establishment of France’s first hydrogen hub dedicated to heavy-duty vehicles in Villabé
The hub includes a high-capacity green hydrogen refueling station and a maintenance center specifically designed for heavy-duty vehicles
the station ensures uninterrupted refueling for Hyliko’s fleet
The Villabé station has been running continuously since the trucks were launched this summer
The vehicles are refueled daily without any interruptions
ensuring seamless operations for our transport customers and their clients
hydrogen trucks are fully integrated into diesel truck fleets without any operational differences
the comfort and productivity are at least on par — if not superior — to conventional internal combustion vehicles
with the added benefit of zero-emission decarbonization.”
Positive feedback from early-adopter transporters
The first feedback from transporters using hydrogen trucks has been overwhelmingly positive
As pioneers in the energy transition for transport in France
Hyliko and its customers have successfully integrated these vehicles into daily operations
serving clients in the Paris region — an area subject to stringent environmental regulations and the Crit’Air system
This initiative gradually restricts the circulation of polluting heavy-duty vehicles
leaving room only for zero-emission alternatives
As a leader in building material distribution
we are committed to reducing our CO₂ emissions by 50% by 2026
“With a diversified energy mix already underway
deploying the first hydrogen-retrofitted trucks
One of our drivers operates the H2 crane truck and wouldn’t trade it for anything else because it works so flawlessly
our ambition is to replicate this success across our sites
with nearly 100 H2 trucks deployed in partnership with Hyliko.”
Green Mobility Director at Bert&You and President of the Retrofit H2 Coalition
We are the first carriers to use hydrogen trucks for food distribution with industry leaders
This innovation strengthens our decarbonization offer to shippers
“We also deployed a hydrogen tractor at the biggest sporting event of the year in Paris
I believe it’s essential to promote this new energy and inspire shippers to adopt it
they can rely on proven use cases in France to integrate hydrogen into their decarbonization strategies
On the strength of this first successful experience
Hyliko plans to expand its fleet of hydrogen trucks to the area of its Grand-ParHY and Grand-LHYon hydrogen ecosystems, bringing together infrastructure and uses
The results we are seeing with these 1st hydrogen trucks are not just promising: we are witnessing a paradigm shift in heavy transport
where hydrogen decarbonization is becoming a reality in France
we strive to offer zero-emission solutions tailored to the needs of our customers
innovation and respect for the environment

zero-emissions haulage: Hyliko unveils France’s first dedicated hydrogen truck centre
featuring a refuelling station and maintenance facility
11 July 2024 –7:30 am – Lhyfe (EURONEXT: LHYFE)
one of the world’s pioneers in the production of green hydrogen
today announced that it will be supplying the Hyliko refuelling station
which was introduced as part of the wider presentation of its centre of excellence for hydrogen trucks
A few weeks after the first H2-retrofitted hydrogen trucks began operating commercially for Point P with hauliers the Berto Group and Labatut
and for Toyota with the Bert&You group
Hyliko – the leader in zero-emission mobility for heavy goods vehicles – provided experts from the ecosystem with an exceptional preview
They showcased their hydrogen centre of excellence
which is due to officially open next September
marks a turning point in the history of decarbonisation and the achievement of carbon neutrality for transport
Following initial announcements that the first vehicles retrofitted by Hyliko had passed the approval process
and the handover of the keys to these first vehicles
the young start-up is continuing at the leading edge with the presentation of the very first centre of excellence for hydrogen-powered HGVs in France
30 km south of Paris (along the A6 motorway)
HGVs that come to this public station will be able to fill up in almost 20 minutes
with green hydrogen currently produced by Lhyfe
France’s leading supplier of green and renewable hydrogen
The first hydrogen vehicles retrofitted by Hyliko are already being used on the road by Point P’s haulage operators
Lhyfe produces green and renewable hydrogen through the electrolysis of water
at production units powered by renewable energy
the company inaugurated its first site in 2021
and today has four installed sites and several sites under construction across Europe
Founder and CEO of Lhyfe said: “Heavy mobility
is one of the key sectors for decarbonisation
which has been developing for several months
is now ready and complete – we’re proud to be part of France’s first centre of excellence for hydrogen trucks
refuelling stations and maintenance centres to service them
This complete chain has just been presented in the Paris region
and it’s a major step forward for hydrogen mobility.”
Lhyfe inaugurated the first industrial-scale green hydrogen production plant in the world to be interconnected with a wind farm
it inaugurated the first offshore green hydrogen production pilot platform in the world
and currently has several sites under construction or expansion across Europe
Lhyfe is represented in 12 European countries and had 195 staff at the end of December 2023. The company is listed on the Euronext market in Paris (ISIN: FR0014009YQ1 – LHYFE). Lhyfe.com

this global player in hydrogen-powered trucks will be putting its first vehicles on the road
Shortly before the start of 2024, Hyliko published a video showing its first retrofitted vehicle driving on the road
vehicles will be put on the road (new or retrofitted trucks)
Hyliko is also planning to deploy refuelling stations with the help of Mesure Process and Nel

That’s the trip Michael Christophe Manthe of Villabé (near Paris) will be taking when he travels south to Barcelona for the 2020 PokerStars Players Championship after winning a Platinum Pass in the Platinum Madness promotion in February
Manthe has been playing poker for about 10 years and has played live events before
including at the Cercle Clichy and Club Barrière
But between now and August has plans to gather more experience by playing one or two tournaments per month
He hopes that experience will get him even more acclimated to the live game before he sits down at the tables for the PSPC
it was a friend who first introduced Manthe to the game
His biggest win to date has been around €3,500 he says
He doesn’t have one favorite poker player
Manthe lists his family first as that which gives him the most pride
I’m very proud of the education my wife and myself are giving to our children,” he adds
I’ve always had a good head on my shoulders and stayed true to my principles,” explains Manthe
He’ll be drawing on those qualities for sure — and perhaps more skills he has built up over the coming months — once the PSPC begins
