"Harnessing hydrogen for the racetrack at the Formula 1TM Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort"
Renault Group is making significant strides in promoting zero-emission mobility in the Netherlands, particularly with hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles. The French automaker has set a goal to have the greenest mix on the market by 2030, positioning itself as one of the leaders in the fast-changing Dutch market.
Renault's hydrogen-powered vehicles have been tested extensively across Europe, including the Netherlands, France, Spain, and Germany. The Renault Master Van H2-TECH, in particular, has been put through its paces, demonstrating its efficiency and reliability.
To ensure seamless service, repair, and maintenance of these hydrogen-powered vehicles in the Netherlands, Renault Group has formed strategic partnerships with four key players: Bochane Groep, Stam Autobedrijven, Terwolde, and Van Mossel.
The Netherlands, a country at the forefront of zero-emission mobility, is set to have thirty cities become low-emission zones by 2024. This initiative aligns perfectly with Renault's ambitions, making the country an ideal market for the implementation of hydrogen-powered vehicles.
Renault's commitment to hydrogen technology extends beyond its commercial vehicles. Alpine, the French luxury car manufacturer, is focusing on being at the forefront of hydrogen research for the decarbonisation of Formula 1 and endurance racing cars. Bruno Famin, VP Motorsports Alpine, has discussed the exploration of hydrogen internal combustion engine possibilities in racing for the development of future technologies.
Meanwhile, Plug Power, an American fuel cell company, is extending its know-how to the world of transport to develop hydrogen-powered mobility solutions in Europe. Plug has partnered with BMW and Renault Group, and has deployed more than 60,000 fuel cell systems and over 185 refueling stations, more than anyone else in the world.
HYVIA, a Dutch company specialising in hydrogen-powered mobility solutions, has also made a significant impact in the market. The company aims to achieve 30% of the segment in Europe by 2030 and has recently signed orders with GP Groot, Warmtebouw, and Pot Verhuizingen in the Netherlands. HYVIA will be supplying a Renault Master Van H2-TECH to the teams at the Viry-Châtillon site for their logistics needs.
The Renault Pro+ distribution network supports HYVIA's hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles, demonstrating a strong commitment to meeting the growing demand for low-carbon vehicles in the Netherlands, particularly from professionals. Hydrogen, being particularly relevant for intensive use by professionals, complements electric power for sustainable solutions.
First orders for hydrogen-powered light commercial vehicles have already been signed by Renault Group in the Netherlands, signalling a promising future for zero-emission mobility in the country. As the trend continues to gain momentum, it's clear that the Netherlands is on track to becoming a leader in sustainable transportation.
