In recent days, eight Solaris Urbino 18 hydrogen buses have joined the fleet of Regionalverkehr Köln GmbH (RVK) in Cologne which already includes 46 Solaris hydrogen buses operating. This time, they are 18-meter-long articulated buses. The hydrogen fleet of the German carrier is already impressive, and there are still more deliveries to come. We are currently fulfilling an order for 20 additional hydrogen buses, placed in March this year: nine 12-meter and eleven 18-meter buses. Upon completion of all deliveries, RVK will have a fleet of 84 hydrogen-powered Solaris buses, the largest in Europe. Key advantages of hydrogen buses include zero-emission operation, high passenger capacity, long range on a single refuelling, and short refuelling process. These are crucial parameters for operators like RVK, who serve areas connecting rural regions with cities and transport large numbers of commuters to work every day. RVK has been implementing its hydrogen strategy for years, with our company as a proud partner in this transformation. #zeroemission #emobility #publictransport #hydrogen  

Our hydrogen buses will soon be part of the hydrogen revolution in Duisburg. The first hydrogen buses will roll out onto the streets of the city of Duisburg by the end of this year. The local public transport operator DVG Duisburger Verkehrsgesellschaft has ordered a total of 25 Solaris buses fitted with hydrogen fuel cells. This is a considerable investment in sustainable local public transport. The goal of DVG is ambitious – by 2030 the city’s entire diesel bus fleet should consist solely of zero-emission vehicles.

Last Thursday, I was representing TEAL Mobility at the Rencontres de la Filière organized by SOLUTRANS | Transport routier et urbain!   It was a great opportunity to connect with industry leaders and discuss the key challenges shaping hydrogen sector. One highlight was visiting Symbio’s facility, a subsidiary of Michelin, Faurecia and Stellantis. For me, it's a must-see, which makes one proud to be European and working in the H2 sector ! 💧 I also joined a a round-table discussion on “Hydrogen: Potential and Challenges of a True Green Revolution.” It was an honor to represent our industry’s voice on how hydrogen is rapidly becoming a crucial solution for reducing emissions, particularly for heavy-duty vehicles.   While the potential is enormous, we still face challenges in building infrastructure, improving efficiency, availing hydrogen powered trucks and making hydrogen accessible to all. At TEAL Mobility, we are already contributing by developing a hydrogen station network across major European corridors and driving the shift toward greener transport. With the majority of our hydrogen supply already low-carbon, we have ambitious projects underway to reach over 100 stations.   A special thanks to Patrick Cholton and Hervé Rébillon for the invitation and for organizing such a great event.   Congratulations to Philippe Rosier for your well-deserved award "homme de la filière 2024"!   👉 Don’t miss the full replay of the hydrogen discussion starting at 46 minutes (in French): https://lnkd.in/ei-pb7SF   #Hydrogen #SustainableMobility #GreenTransition #TEALMobility

Design matters, also when it comes to Environmental impact.

Whenever hydrogen is involved, we are part of the solution. Which means, of course, that you will find our products also at the IAA TRANSPORTATION in Hanover. That’s where MAN Truck & Bus SE just received the prestigious 2025 Truck Innovation Award for its MAN hTGX - a heavy-duty truck with a hydrogen combustion engine. Classified as a ‘zero-emission vehicle’, the hTGX opens a new chapter in decarbonizing road freight transport.   The International Truck of the Year jury, which recognizes excellence in advanced transport solutions, praised the truck's diesel-like performance and its range of around 600 kilometers, which is made possible by the 56-kilo hydrogen pressure tank with a capacity of 700 bar. And this is where we come in. The blue spot you see in the heart of the massive MAN 16.8-litre H4576 six-cylinder in-line hydrogen engine, which powers the hTGX truck, is the VENTREX H2 Octoblock - our electronic pressure regulator for best in class power output and fuel efficiency. We are proud to be supporting MAN in its drive towards a cleaner mobility! #IAATransportation2024 #TruckInnovationAward2025 #H2ICE #ZeroEmissions #SustainableMobility #FutureOfFuel #HydrogenEconomy #RenewableEnergy #GreenTech #HydrogenPower #HydrogenTechnology

"The Power of Design: From Driver Comfort to Fuel Efficiency"   At Stoko Plast, we've been producing sunvisors for trucks for decades, enhancing driver comfort on the road. But thanks to innovative design from MAN Truck & Bus SE, sunvisors have evolved far beyond just providing shade.   By reimagining their function, MAN Truck & Bus SE has transformed the sunvisor into a key player in reducing fuel consumption – an impressive step toward greater sustainability.   This example highlights a critical point: product design isn't just about aesthetics or immediate utility; it’s about the bigger picture. It’s essential to consider the full life cycle of a product and its long-term environmental impact, not just its carbon footprint at the production stage.
