HyTruck

The project HyTruck helps public authorities design a network of hydrogen refuelling stations for large trucks, bringing the region closer to zero–emissions in road freight transport.
In the spotlight

The project HyTruck helps public authorities designing a network of hydrogen refuelling stations for large trucks, bringing the Baltic Sea region closer to zero–emissions in road freight transport.

The EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation requires member states to provide for hydrogen refuelling infrastructure along the so called TEN-T core network by end of 2030. Although the date is already close, there are still a lot of questions to be resolved, for instance:

  • What Technology is best suited for long distance heavy duty transport?
  • Under which conditions and when hydrogen as a fuel becomes competitive?
  • How to make sure, that hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in the members states is constructed in a coordinated way, avoiding spatial gaps and technological incompatibilities?
  • How to simplify permission procedures?
  • How to incentivise first movers?

Against these uncertainties, HyTruck supports public authorities in planning the development of a transnational network of GREEN hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) suited for large trucks. The HyTruck project consortium engages regional and national public authorities, scientific institutions, small and medium enterprises as well as business support institutions in a triple helix approach.

So far, the research institutions provided prototypes of tools that help finding suitable locations, estimate the effect of different technological and environmental scenarios, provide guidance on how to set-up HRS development processes and transparently inform about the evolution of technological standards.

At regional level, partners are currently testing the tools in five pilot regions: Rostock region in Germany, Wielkopolskie region in Poland, Kaunas and Panevezys regions in Lithuania, Vidzeme region in Latvia and Helsinki region in Finland. By performing regional analyses and organising a stakeholder dialogue, the status, development pathways as well as obstacles to overcome are explored.

The results will be shared with the BSR community and further interested within a transnationally agreed spatial development concept and a memorandum of understanding, pointing towards actions to be taken at different policy levels to ramp-up hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in the Baltic Sea Region.
