FORVIA joins forces with H2 Energy to develop a common solution for hydrogen transportation

FORVIA will supply H2 Energy with optimized 38MPa hydrogen composite Type III tanks, to equip Multiple Element Gas Containers (MEGCs). H2 Energy, a Swiss private company, operates across the entire hydrogen value chain, providing expertise in hydrogen production plants, logistics, refueling stations, and fuel cell application engineering.
“We are leveraging our experience and technology to provide robust, competitive solu-tions to H2 Energy”, said Yves Dumoulin, Senior Vice President FORVIA Hydrogen Solutions. “We are particularly proud of contributing to this project as hydrogen infra-structure development is critical to advancing hydrogen mobility. We estimate the global market could require up to 40,000 additional containers by 2030 to meet clean hydrogen demand.”

Building on a proven tank design already manufactured at scale using automotive pro-cesses, FORVIA has developed a certified container-specific solution. By integrating these optimized tanks into H2 Energy's container framework, we expand the possibilities of hydrogen transportation and storage, enabling an estimated 33% cost reduction compared to stationary trailer solutions.
Unlocking hydrogen mobility through infrastructure development
FORVIA believes hydrogen transportation is a cornerstone of mobility solutions. MEGCs are essential for regional hydrogen logistics and last-mile delivery, ensuring safe and efficient operations.
H2 Energy’s solution, enhanced with FORVIA’s tanks, offers excellent payload capacity, increased usable hydrogen percentage, and reduced operating costs through a modular and scalable architecture available in 20 to 40 feet configurations.
Together, FORVIA and H2 Energy are enabling a robust and reliable transportation infra-structure and taking a significant step towards a sustainable hydrogen economy in Eu-rope.
