The HYVIA hydrogen venture between French automaker Renault and U.S. company Plug Power will be selling products throughout Europe and will assemble fuel cells and hydrogen refueling stations at the Flins factory located in France this year.
The HYVIA venture added in a statement on Tuesday that it would provide a range of three fuel-cell-powered Master Large Van models by the end of this year.
“HYVIA offers turnkey mobility solutions that leverage the production, storage, distribution of green hydrogen, and a wide range of H2 LCVs. These solutions will satisfy the new needs of businesses, large accounts, fleets, and local communities and drive energy transition as a whole,” said David Holderbach the president of HYVIA.
Automakers around the world such as Renault are focusing increasingly on electric vehicles and on hydrogen, as part of the automobile industry’s motivations to be more environmentally friendly.
