Hexagon Purus awarded purchase order by Ford Trucks to deliver a
hydrogen fuel storage system for their prototype heavy-duty truck
(Oslo, 7 December 2023) Hexagon Purus, a world leading supplier
of zero-emission infrastructure and mobility solutions, has been
awarded a purchase order by Ford Trucks to deliver a complete
hydrogen fuel storage system for development of a Fuel Cell
Electric-Powered Vehicle (FCEV) F-MAX as part of the Horizon Europe
project ZEFES (Zero Emission Freight EcoSystem), a zero-emission
logistics deployment project in which Ford Trucks participates with
the vision of pioneering future transportation solutions. As a
partner in project ZEFES, a pan-European project specifically
targeting decarbonization of long-haul heavy-duty trucking in
Europe, Ford Trucks will develop and deliver a fuel cell electric
heavy-duty prototype F-MAX truck that will operate as part of a
larger fleet of zero-emission trucks collecting data from
real-world operations.
The F-MAX FCEV will be Ford Trucks’ first fuel cell-powered
vehicle, developed and manufactured in Turkey, and will begin
European Ten-T corridor demonstrations in 2025 as part of the ZEFES
project goals.
Driving Energy Transformation
“We focus our investment, R&D and innovation efforts in line
with our global electrification strategy to be a leading player in
the decarbonization transformation happening in the automotive
industry”, says Ford Trucks’ Vice President Emrah Duman. “We are
very happy to have the support from Hexagon Purus as an experienced
partner in our development plan of a fuel-cell electric heavy-duty
truck as part of project ZEFES”.
“We are using our in-depth knowledge of lightweight, reliable
and safe hydrogen storage technology to help Ford Trucks pave the
way for fuel-cell electric long-haul heavy-duty trucking in
Europe”, says Michael Kleschinski, EVP of Hexagon Purus. “We are
excited to be selected by Ford Trucks to support their development
plan as part of project ZEFES”.
About the market
The mobility sector is accountable for approximately 20% of
annual carbon emissions globally, and hydrogen has a significant
role to play in reducing these emissions, particularly in “hard to
abate” sectors. Making green hydrogen available for use in amongst
other the mobility sector is critical to reducing carbon
emissions.
As a part of Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding program for
research and innovation to tackle global challenges, project ZEFES
aims specifically at addressing the decarbonization of long-haul
heavy-duty freight across Europe. The project will deploy a total
of nine different long-haul truck configurations split into six
battery electric- and three fuel-cell electric trucks. The nine
trucks will operate for 15 months and collect up to one million
kilometers of driving data from real-world operations. With 40
partners from 14 countries and a total investment program of EUR
35.5 million, project ZEFES will bring together the road transport
value chain to move the transportation sector one step closer to
EU’s Green Deal emission targets.
Timing
Delivery of the complete hydrogen storage system is scheduled
for Q1 2024.
