In France, Plastic Omnium said that through its PO-Rein1 joint venture, is launching the construction of its high-pressure hydrogen vessels mega-plant in Jiading, Shanghai. Scheduled to be operational in 2026, the new plant will produce annually up to 60,000 hydrogen vessels and high-pressure hydrogen storage systems for the Chinese commercial vehicle market. This future plant will be located in Jiading Hydrogen Park, one of the country’s main hydrogen development hubs. It will complement Plastic Omnium’s production capacities in Shanghai, where the Group already has its first hydrogen vessels production plant, operational since 2024. Laurent Favre, Plastic Omnium’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “This new plant is the concrete expression of our PO-Rein joint venture’s ambitions in the Chinese hydrogen mobility market. It gives us the production capacity we need to seize every opportunity and become one of the big winners in the transformation of mobility in the country. At the same time, we are accelerating the development of the entire hydrogen value chain and contributing to China’s carbon neutrality roadmap”.
