HYVIA and HYPE announce partnership to accelerate decarbonized hydrogen mobility

In France, HYVIA, a joint-venture between Renault Group and Plug dedicated to hydrogen mobility, and HYPE, an independent player in zero-emission mobility and a pioneer in hydrogen taxis, have announced a partnership to accelerate decarbonized hydrogen mobility. The partnership aims to rapidly develop the relevant uses of decarbonized hydrogen mobility, while securing the volume increase that will enable lower costs. This partnership covers the entire ecosystem of H2 mobility: the supply of decarbonized hydrogen, H2 refueling stations and hydrogen vehicles. As part of the agreement, HYVIA’s 1 MW electrolyzer based at its Flins plant will supply HYPE’s Paris region refueling station network with decarbonized hydrogen. HYVIA will enable HYPE to deploy two H2 refueling stations by the end of 2024, including a HYWELL station co-developed with Atawey and deployed with the support of the Maurin group, at RENAULT Corbeil-Essonnes dealership, contributing to the growth of the H2 refueling stations network in the Paris region. The first of these stations will go into service in the summer of 2024 at the HYPE site in Buc, developed in partnership with B.E. Green. “Supply of decarbonized hydrogen, hydrogen stations and vans, financing solution: we are accelerating the deployment of hydrogen mobility thanks to this strategic partnership with HYPE, a major player in the H2 sector, zero-emission solutions and hydrogen taxis. Building on our complementarity and our pioneering commitments, together we are deploying hydrogen ecosystems enabling the decarbonization of intensive usages, for a necessary energy transition,” said Nicolas Champetier, CEO of HYVIA.
