Air Liquide has announced plans to develop and supply a fully-integrated hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in the northeast United States, in collaboration with Toyota Motor Sales USA, Inc. (Toyota).
This partnership has been established is to support Toyota’s introduction of a new hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV), the “Mirai”, and its plans to deliver hydrogen FCEVs in the United States.
Air Liquide’s US hydrogen fuelling infrastructure in the northeast will initially consist of 12 filling stations across a number of states, with plans to extend the network as demand warrants. The hydrogen filling stations will offer a typical vehicle filling experience. The stations developed by Air Liquide allow Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles to fill up in less than five minutes, and FCEVs themselves offer an autonomy that can reach up to 300 miles (500 km) in range, depending on the model.
This initiative is the latest in the company’s current portfolio of hydrogen fuel cell energy activities in the US and across North America, which also include recently awarded hydrogen fuelling stations in California, and a number of fleet fuelling projects for public buses and warehouse vehicles.
